加拿大和新加坡是尽管全球碎片化日益加剧、各国政府推动更大程度自给自足，但仍致力于加强与中国贸易关系的国家之一，两国官员周三在新德里举行的经济论坛上如是表示。
Canada and Singapore are among the countries that remain committed to strengthening trade ties with China, despite growing global fragmentation and a push by governments towards greater self-sufficiency, officials from both countries said on Wednesday at an economic forum in New Delhi.
加拿大国际贸易部长曼因德尔·西杜表示，中国是加拿大第二大贸易伙伴，并指出在两国经济具有互补优势的领域存在合作机遇，包括中国的技术和加拿大的农业部门。
Canada’s minister of international trade Maninder Sidhu said China was the country’s second-largest trading partner and highlighted opportunities for cooperation in areas where the two economies had complementary strengths, including China’s technology and Canada’s agricultural sectors.
“如果你看看中国在储能技术方面拥有什么，那就是加拿大非常感兴趣的领域，”西杜在题为《自给自足竞赛》的小组讨论中说。该论坛为彭博新经济论坛，周二至周四在新德里举行。
“If you look at what China has in terms of energy storage technologies, that’s where Canada is very interested,” Sidhu said in a panel discussion titled “The Self-Sufficiency Scramble” at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, held in New Delhi from Tuesday to Thursday.
“我们与中国在一些关键领域有合作伙伴关系，我们将继续在此基础上深化合作，”他说，并指出加拿大的农业部门向中国市场供应“大量”油菜籽或牛肉等产品。
“There are key areas where we have partnerships with China we continue to build on,” he said, pointing to Canada’s agricultural sector that supplied “a great deal of canola or beef”, among other products, to the Chinese market.
新加坡副总理兼贸工部长甘明龙也表达了同样的观点，称在全球经济日益因地缘政治紧张而分裂的背景下，各国需要维持经济联系。
Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong, also minister for trade and industry, echoed that view, saying countries needed to maintain economic ties at a time when geopolitical tensions were increasingly dividing the global economy.
“即使世界日益碎片化，世界各国继续相互保持接触也很重要，”甘说，重申了新加坡作为城邦对与中国合作的承诺。
“It’s important for countries in the world to continue to engage with one another, even as the world has become increasingly fragmented,” Gan said, reaffirming the city state’s commitment to collaborating with China.
“新加坡和中国将继续保持非常良好的工作关系。我们在经济的各个方面继续保持非常紧密的经济合作，”甘说，并补充称新加坡也在包括半导体在内的领域与其他国家如印度开展战略合作。
“Singapore and China will continue to have a very good working relationship. We continue to have a very strong economic cooperation in all aspects of the economy.”Gan said, adding that Singapore also collaborated strategically with other countries, such as India, in areas including semiconductors.
他们的言论凸显了在全球供应链高度互联的情况下，要将其解脱开来所面临的困难，尽管贸易中断、地缘政治摩擦以及对经济安全的担忧正推动各国政府减少对外国供应商的依赖，寻求自给自足。
Their remarks underscored the difficulties of disentangling global supply chains that are deeply interconnected, even as trade disruption, geopolitical frictions and concerns over economic security push governments to reduce their dependence on foreign suppliers and seek self-sufficiency.
我不认为技术将永远只掌握在一两个国家手中。皮尤什·戈亚尔，印度商务和工业部长。苏尼尔·巴蒂·米塔尔，巴蒂企业集团创始人兼董事长，该集团是总部位于新德里的印度跨国企业集团，警告不要对单一来源——例如中国——在关键供应链上的过度依赖。
I don’t think technology will remain the reserve of only one or a few countriesPiyush Goyal, Indian commerce and industry minister Sunil Bharti Mittal, founder and chairman at Bharti Enterprises, an Indian multinational conglomerate headquartered in New Delhi, cautioned against overreliance on a single source – such as China – for critical supply chains.
“很长一段时间里，我认为世界让中国在几乎所有领域都变得非常强大，从医药到汽车最关键的部件，再到电子产品，”米塔尔在周三举行的另一个论坛小组讨论中说。
“For a long period of time, I think the world let China become very strong in almost everything, from pharmaceuticals to the most critical components of the automobiles to electronics,” Mittal said at a separate forum panel held on Wednesday.
“每个人都很高兴中国能以低成本生产高质量产品，”米塔尔说，并补充称，这种相互依赖正成为一个“大问号”。
“Everybody is very happy that China produces high quality at low cost,” Mittal said, adding that interdependencies were becoming a “big question mark”.
皮尤什·戈亚尔，印度商务和工业部长，认为技术能力不会永远集中在少数几个经济体手中。他表示，发展替代供应链需要合作，而不是每个国家都试图复制一个完整的工业生态系统。
Piyush Goyal, India’s commerce and industry minister, argued that technological capabilities would not remain concentrated in a handful of economies indefinitely. He said that developing alternative supply chains would require cooperation, rather than each country attempting to replicate an entire industrial ecosystem.
“我不认为技术将永远只掌握在一两个国家手中。”他补充说，一些国家可以提供人才，另一些国家专注于设备或部件，而还有一些国家可以提供支持商业发展所需的产品和服务。
“I don’t think technology will remain the reserve of only one or a few countries.”Some countries could contribute talent, others specialised in equipment or components, while still others could provide the products and services needed to support commercial development, he added.
戈亚尔表示，只要地缘政治局势不恶化，印度就对世界各国持开放态度。尽管过去曾有与中国相关的担忧，但他表示，目前两国正在努力发展关系。
Goyal said that India was open to all countries around the world as long as the geopolitical situation did not deteriorate. Though there were past concerns related to China, he said, the two countries were currently working on developing their relations.
新加坡的甘还补充说，即使在日益碎片化的世界中，找到合作方式的国家将更有能力应对未来可能出现的干扰。
Singapore’s Gan added that even in an increasingly fragmented world, countries that found ways to cooperate would be better positioned to navigate potential disruptions ahead.
“如果你们能够做到这一点，那么我们所有人都将拥有更美好的未来，”他说。
“If you are able to do that, you will have a better future for all of us,” he said.
