加拿大外交部长阿尼塔·阿南德周三表示,在特朗普总统的保护主义贸易政策下,加拿大正努力与印度达成贸易协定,并加强与欧盟的联系,以减少对美国的依赖。
Canada is racing to seal a trade pact with India and deepen ties with the European Union as it seeks to reduce reliance on the US amid President Donald Trump's protectionist trade policy, Foreign Minister Anita Anand said on Wednesday.
这一举措是总理马克·卡尼多元化贸易、加强与欧盟、中国及其他国家关系计划的核心,即使渥太华仍寻求在贸易、国防和安全领域与华盛顿保持合作。
The push is central to Prime Minister Mark Carney's plan to diversify trade and strengthen ties with the EU, China and other countries even as Ottawa seeks to maintain cooperation with Washington on trade, defence and security.
“与印度的全面经济伙伴关系协定是我们贸易多元化战略的一部分,是的,我们计划在今年年底前完成该协定,”阿南德在新德里加拿大高级专员公署接受路透社采访时表示。“加拿大的目标是未来10年将非美国贸易翻倍,”阿南德说。
"The Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement with India is part of our trade diversification strategy, and yes, we aim to conclude it by the end of the year," Anand told Reuters in an interview at the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi.
阿南德表示,加拿大和欧盟预计将在本月晚些时候的峰会上讨论在关键矿产、能源和人工智能方面的合作,以此为基础,进一步深化《全面经济贸易协定》(CETA)下的贸易关系。
"Canada has a goal of doubling non-US trade over the next 10 years," Anand said.
她还说,加拿大正在扩大其贸易伙伴关系,去年已与印度尼西亚签署自由贸易协定,并计划在2026年与东南亚国家联盟(ASEAN)签署协定。渥太华已与51个国家、覆盖15亿消费者签署了15项贸易协定。
Canada and the EU are expected to discuss cooperation on critical minerals, energy and artificial intelligence at a summit later this month, building on trade ties under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), Anand said.
“这真正关系到我们的国家韧性和主权,”阿南德说。“我们需要确保我们不会依赖任何单一国家来维持我们国家所展现的经济韧性。”
Canada is also broadening its trade partnerships, having signed a free trade agreement with Indonesia last year and is looking to sign a pact with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 2026. Ottawa has concluded 15 trade agreements covering 51 countries and 1.5 billion consumers, she said.
阿南德表示,印度协定的谈判进展顺利,并补充说,印度贸易谈判代表上周曾访问加拿大,加拿大贸易部长曼因德尔·西德胡当时正率领商务代表团访问印度。
"It is really about our national resilience and our sovereignty," Anand said. "We need to ensure that we are not reliant on any one country for the economic resilience that our country has been able to exhibit." Negotiations on the India agreement were progressing well, Anand said, adding that Indian trade negotiators had visited Canada last week and Canadian Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu was in India with a business delegation.
她还说,卡尼总理曾与印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪讨论过该协定。莫迪预计将于12月访问加拿大。
Carney and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had discussed the agreement, she said. Modi is expected to visit Canada in December.
加拿大表示,一项协议可能使双边商品和服务贸易额从2025年记录的304亿美元增至2030年每年超过700亿美元,增长幅度超过一倍。2025年,加拿大与印度的商品贸易额达到109亿美元,其中加拿大对印度的出口较2024年下降26.5%,而自印度的进口则增长18.9%。
Canada says a deal could more than double bilateral goods and services trade to $70 billion annually by 2030 from the $30.4 billion recorded in 2025. Goods trade with India reached $10.9 billion in 2025, with Canadian exports falling 26.5% from 2024, while imports from India rose by 18.9%.
她表示,今年早些时候,加拿大公司Cameco与印度签署的一项价值26亿加元(约18亿美元)的铀供应协议,是深化合作的一个具体成果。
A C$2.6 billion ($1.8 billion) uranium supply agreement between Canadian company Cameco and India, signed earlier this year, was one tangible outcome of closer cooperation, she said.
作为经济关系深化的一个例子,加拿大的Fairfax Financial Holdings同意收购印度IDBI银行的多数股权,交易价值为5287.8亿卢比(约55.6亿美元),这将成为印度迄今为止规模最大的跨境银行交易。
In one example of deepening economic ties, Canada's Fairfax Financial Holdings has agreed to buy a majority stake in India's IDBI Bank in a deal valued at 528.78 billion rupees ($5.56 billion), in what will be India's biggest cross-border bank deal.
两国正在努力修复关系,此前因2023年加拿大发生的锡克教分离主义者Hardeep Singh Nijjar遇害事件而引发外交争端。
The two countries are seeking to rebuild ties following a diplomatic dispute over the 2023 killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.
Anand表示,恢复关系是一个渐进的过程,国家安全和法治是这一努力的核心。
Anand said restoring relations was a gradual process, with national security and the rule of law central to the effort.
她说:“我们正在谈论我们的主权和韧性,我们需要继续将注意力集中在这些问题上。”
"We are speaking about our sovereignty and our resilience, and we need to continue to focus on that," she said.
