印度和非洲在全球决策过程中不能继续被边缘化，外交部长S·贾伊尚卡尔周五表示，并呼吁对联合国安理会进行改革，以使全球治理更加民主和具有代表性。在亚的斯亚贝巴的阿德瓦胜利纪念博物馆举行的会议上，贾伊尚卡尔指出，现有的全球秩序忽视了印度和非洲的利益，并指责某些势力在拖延改革进程。他说：“当前的联合国安理会既无法有效履行其职责，也无法公平地代表各国的利益；这两个问题显然是相互关联的。”
India and Africa cannot remain underrepresented in global decision-making, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Friday as he called for reform of the UN Security Council to make global governance more democratic and representative. Addressing a gathering at the Adwa Victory Memorial Museum in Addis Ababa, Jaishankar said the existing global order disregarded the interests of both India and Africa, and accused unnamed forces of delaying reform. He said, "The current Council neither delivers effectively nor represents fairly. And the two shortcomings are clearly interconnected."
他呼吁建立一个更具代表性的国际秩序，认为非洲应在联合国安理会的两个类别（常任理事国和非常任理事国）中都获得公平的代表权。联合国安理会目前共有15个成员国，其中5个是常任理事国（中国、法国、俄罗斯、英国和美国），这些国家拥有否决权，任何一方都可以阻止决议的通过；其余10个非常任理事国的任期为两年，没有否决权。
Calling for a more representative international order, Jaishankar said Africa should be represented fairly in both categories of UN Security Council membership. The Council has 15 members, including five permanent members - China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States - which hold veto powers that allow any one of them to block a substantive resolution. The remaining 10 non-permanent members are elected for two-year terms and do not have veto powers.
贾伊尚卡尔还提到了印度在2023年担任G20主席国期间为推动非洲联盟加入该组织所做的努力。他是从科特迪瓦出发前往埃塞俄比亚的，此次非洲之行还包括对加纳的访问。贾伊尚卡尔表示，埃塞俄比亚在阿德瓦战役中战胜意大利的胜利激励了整个非洲乃至全球范围内的反殖民主义和反对种族压迫的斗争；这一胜利与印度的独立运动有着共同的精神内涵——两者都强调人的尊严、政治独立以及自主选择的权利。
Jaishankar also referred to India’s efforts during its 2023 G20 presidency to secure permanent membership for the African Union in the grouping. He arrived in Ethiopia on Thursday from Cote d’Ivoire on the final leg of his three-nation African tour, which also included Ghana. Jaishankar said Ethiopia’s victory over Italy at Adwa had inspired struggles against colonialism and racial domination across Africa and beyond, and that it resonated with India’s freedom movement as both were centred on human dignity, political independence and the right to make sovereign choices.
该博物馆是为了纪念埃塞俄比亚在1896年阿德瓦战役中战胜意大利军队的事迹而建立的，这场战役是非洲反抗殖民主义的标志性事件。他强调：“关键的问题仍然是：谁来决定我们的未来？”
The museum commemorates Ethiopia’s victory over Italian forces at the 1896 Battle of Adwa, a landmark in African resistance to colonialism. "The essential question remains: who gets to decide our future?
“这就是将全球南方，特别是印度和非洲凝聚在一起的使命，”他说。
This is the quest that brings the Global South, especially India and Africa, together," he said.
在追溯这两个地区之间的联系时，苏杰生表示，它们的关系可以追溯到几千年前，远在现代民族国家出现之前，印度洋通过商业、移民、语言、文化习俗和信仰将两国人民联系在一起。他表示，这种关系现在必须超越历史上的团结，印度到2047年成为发达国家的愿景与非洲的《2063年议程》为转型提供了互补的路径。
Tracing ties between the two regions, Jaishankar said their relationship stretched back several millennia, long before modern nation-states, with the Indian Ocean linking their peoples through commerce, migration, languages, cultural practices and faith. He said the relationship must now move beyond historical solidarity, with India’s vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047 and Africa’s Agenda 2063 offering complementary pathways for transformation.
他说，双方都将工业化、基础设施、互联互通、技术、人力资本和可持续增长置于其发展议程的核心。他说：“我们工业化的权利不应因廉价商品充斥我们的市场而被剥夺。当然，也不应通过限制我们的市场准入来剥夺。”
Both sides, he said, placed industrialisation, infrastructure, connectivity, technology, human capital and sustainable growth at the centre of their development agendas. "Our right to industrialise must not be denied by flooding our markets with cheap goods. Nor indeed, by restricting our market access," he said.
苏杰生表示，印度是非洲第四大贸易伙伴，双边贸易额接近1000亿美元。他说，印度在非洲大陆已完成了220多个价值约45亿美元的受援发展项目，并补充说“自力更生是实现发展的最佳途径”。他表示，印度的发展伙伴关系以非洲国家自身确定的优先事项为指导，涵盖发电、输电、水利、农业、铁路、医疗、制造业和公共基础设施。他列举的项目包括毛里求斯的地铁、卢旺达、刚果民主共和国、赞比亚和布隆迪的水电项目、坦桑尼亚的饮用水管道，以及科特迪瓦、多哥、苏丹和贝宁的输电线路。
Jaishankar said India was Africa’s fourth-largest trading partner, with bilateral trade nearing USD 100 billion. More than 220 Indian-supported development projects worth about USD 4.5 billion had been completed across the continent, he said, adding that "development is best served by self-reliance". He said India’s development partnership was guided by the priorities identified by African countries themselves, covering power generation, electricity transmission, water, agriculture, railways, healthcare, manufacturing and public infrastructure. Among the projects he cited were metro rail in Mauritius, hydropower projects in Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia and Burundi, drinking water pipelines in Tanzania, and power transmission lines in Cote d’Ivoire, Togo, Sudan and Benin.
他还鼓励印度企业将非洲视为投资目的地，表示印度企业已帮助创造当地就业、促进价值提升并增强各国经济。他呼吁加强粮食安全合作，称其他地区的冲突正使非洲及更广泛的全球南方地区获取粮食和肥料变得更加困难。因此，农业生产力、气候韧性实践、价值提升和食品加工方面的合作变得更加重要。"未来的伙伴关系应帮助建立能力，而非促进依赖，"贾什ankar说道，总结了他对更平衡的全球秩序和更深入的印非合作的呼吁。
He also encouraged Indian businesses to view Africa as an investment destination, saying Indian companies had helped create local employment, promote value addition and strengthen national economies. He called for stronger cooperation on food security, saying conflicts in other regions were making access to grain and fertilisers more difficult for Africa and the wider Global South. Cooperation in agricultural productivity, climate-resilient practices, value addition and food processing had therefore become more important, he said. "Partnerships of the future must help create capabilities, not promote dependencies," Jaishankar said, summing up his call for a more balanced global order and deeper India-Africa cooperation.
