曼谷 —— 日本前首相岸田文雄周一在接受《日经亚洲》采访时表示，日本应考虑如何支持东盟为让缅甸重返集团会议所作的努力，并补充说，这个饱受内战之苦的国家回归对东盟的团结至关重要。
BANGKOK -- Japan should consider how it can support ASEAN's efforts to bring Myanmar back to the bloc's meetings, former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told Nikkei Asia on Monday, adding that the return of the civil war-torn nation would be important for the group's unity.
“关于缅甸局势，国际社会内部存在许多看法，但许多国家认为，从东盟团结的角度来看，妥善让缅甸重返框架内很重要，”他说。
"While there are many views within the international community regarding the situation in Myanmar, many countries feel that, from the perspective of ASEAN unity, it is important to properly bring Myanmar back into the framework," he said.
“我认为日本今后必须继续考虑是否有办法能在[缅甸问题上]与东盟合作。”岸田文雄在访问曼谷期间接受采访，就在几天前，马来西亚总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣于上周在吉隆坡会见了缅甸总统敏昂莱。会谈中，安瓦尔承诺帮助缅甸重返东盟，敏昂莱则同意协助遣返目前被关押在马来西亚移民拘留中心的数千名缅甸人。
"I believe Japan must continue to consider whether there are ways in which it can cooperate [with ASEAN on Myanmar] going forward." Kishida was speaking on the sidelines of his trip to Bangkok, just a few days after Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim met Myanmar's President Min Aung Hlaing in Kuala Lumpur last week. During the meeting, Anwar promised to help bring Myanmar back into ASEAN as Min Aung Hlaing agreed to help repatriate thousands of Myanmar people currently held in Malaysian immigration detention centers.
岸田文雄2021年就任首相，同年缅甸军方推翻了这个东南亚国家新当选的政府，并拘留了当时的国务资政昂山素季。
Kishida took office in 2021, the same year that Myanmar's military overthrew the Southeast Asian country's newly elected government and detained then State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi.
军事政变发生后不久，东盟领导人在雅加达召开会议，发表了关于缅甸的“五点共识”。此后，由于缅甸政治领导人未能落实该共识——共识呼吁停止暴力、包容性对话、调解和人道主义援助——他们被排除在东盟峰会之外，包括岸田文雄2024年卸任前出席的那些峰会。
Soon after the military takeover, ASEAN leaders convened in Jakarta and declared the Five-Point Consensus on Myanmar. Myanmar's political leaders have since been excluded from ASEAN summits -- including those that Kishida attended before he stepped down in 2024 -- over their failure to implement the consensus, which called for an end to violence, inclusive dialogue, mediation and humanitarian assistance.
自4月就任总统以来，缅甸前军方领导人敏昂莱已访问多个国家，包括东盟成员国老挝、泰国、越南和柬埔寨。他还访问了中国、印度、俄罗斯和白俄罗斯，以争取国际认可。
Min Aung Hlaing, Myanmar's former military leader, has visited a number of countries since assuming the presidency in April including ASEAN members Laos, Thailand Vietnam and Cambodia. He has also made trips to China, India, Russia and Belarus in a bid to gain international acceptance.
“缅甸长期以来一直是东盟团结面临的重大挑战，”岸田文雄表示。他目前仍是日本众议院议员，同时担任日本执政党自由民主党日本增长战略总部部长。
"Myanmar has long been a major challenge for ASEAN unity," said Kishida, who remains a member of Japan's lower house, as well as the head of Japanese ruling Liberal Democratic Party's Japan growth strategy headquarters.
他补充道：“我认为东盟相关方对这一问题有强烈的关切感。”“各方都在以自己的方式作出努力。”
"I believe stakeholders in ASEAN have a strong sense of concern about this issue," he added. "Various parties have been making efforts in their own ways."
岸田文雄表示：“东盟框架，以及日本与东盟的合作，比以往任何时候都更加重要。”他还指出，国际社会正处于“历史转折点”。
"The ASEAN framework, and Japan's cooperation with ASEAN, have become more important than ever," Kishida said, adding that the international community is "at a historic turning point."
岸田文雄于2023年在东京主持了一次特别峰会，纪念日本与东盟合作50周年。总体而言，他表示日本与东盟的关系日益关键，国际社会正处于“历史转折点”。这位前首相说，大国持续试图以武力改变现状，而联合国等传统框架难以有效运作。
Kishida oversaw a special summit in Tokyo in 2023 that commemorated the 50th anniversary of Japan-ASEAN cooperation. Overall, he said the Japan-ASEAN relationship is increasingly critical, with the international community "at a historic turning point." The former prime minister said major powers continue to attempt to change the status quo by force while traditional frameworks, such as the United Nations, struggle to function effectively.
他表示：“对于共享自由、市场经济、民主和法治等价值观的国家而言，在特定地区和特定议题上开展合作，比以往任何时候都更加重要。”
"It is becoming more important than ever for countries that share values such as freedom, the market economy, democracy and the rule of law to work together in specific regions and on specific issues," he said.
“这就是为什么东盟框架，以及日本与东盟的合作，比以往任何时候都更加重要。”岸田文雄透露，在来泰国之前，他会见了新加坡总理黄循财及该国关键部长。新加坡将于2027年接任东盟轮值主席国。
"That is why the ASEAN framework, and Japan's cooperation with ASEAN, have become more important than ever." Kishida revealed that he met with Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and key ministers of the city-state before coming to Thailand. Singapore will take over ASEAN's rotating chair in 2027.
他表示：“我们一致认为，在明年之前密切合作至关重要，我认为这是一次极具意义的对话。”
"We agreed on the importance of working closely together ahead of next year, and I believe that was a highly meaningful dialogue," he said.
关于日本在泰国的汽车产业，岸田文雄指出，现有供应链是两国的重要资产，即便中国品牌正在扩大其影响力，特别是通过电动汽车。
Regarding Japan's automobile industry in Thailand, Kishida pointed out that the existing supply chains are an important asset for both countries, even as Chinese brands are expanding their presence, particularly through electric vehicles.
“多年来，日本和泰国建立了牢固的供应链，尤其是在汽车领域，”他表示，并指出这与当地产业、就业和生计紧密相关。“我相信，这是日本和泰国应通过密切合作共同守护的重要经济资产。”他提到中国时表示，日本与东盟的关系区别于其他国家之处在于，自1973年日本-东盟合作正式启动以来，通过对话建立起来的信任。
"Over the years, Japan and Thailand have built a strong supply chain, especially in the automotive sector," he said, noting that it is closely linked to local industries, jobs and livelihoods. "I believe it is an important economic asset that Japan and Thailand should safeguard together through close cooperation." With China in mind, he said that what distinguishes Japan's relationship with ASEAN from other countries is the trust that has been built through dialogue since 1973, when the Japan-ASEAN cooperation officially began.
“我相信，这种长期建立起来的信任关系是一项重要优势，也是日本最大的优势之一，”岸田表示。
"I believe that the longstanding relationship of trust is a major advantage and one of Japan's greatest strengths," Kishida said.
