利比亚东部武装力量副指挥官萨达姆·哈夫塔尔周二表示，利比亚与土耳其签署的海洋协议为加强双边合作、投资以及建立“长期”伙伴关系提供了机遇。
Saddam Haftar, deputy commander of Libyan forces in the country’s east, said Tuesday that Libya’s maritime agreement with Türkiye offers opportunities to strengthen bilateral cooperation, investment, and a “long-term” partnership.
哈夫塔尔在美社交媒体平台Facebook上发表声明，欢迎议会一致通过批准该协议并废除此前反对该协议的决议。
In a statement on US social media platform Facebook, Haftar welcomed parliament’s unanimous decisions to approve the agreement and repeal previous resolutions against the pact.
他说，这些举措体现了“超越过去分歧、基于利比亚最高利益处理主权事务和外交关系”的意愿。他表示，该协议还为发展双边关系、加强合作、投资和“长期”伙伴关系，以及支持在地区问题上达成共识开辟了更广阔的前景。
He said the measures reflect a willingness to “move beyond past disagreements and address sovereign matters and foreign relations based on Libya’s supreme interests.”The agreement also opens broader prospects for developing bilateral relations and strengthening cooperation, investment, and a “long-term” partnership, as well as supporting opportunities for understanding on regional issues, he said.
哈夫塔尔将该海洋协议描述为一种工具，“有助于保护利比亚在地中海的权利和经济利益，并推动与作为有影响力地区大国的土耳其的共同利益”。他说，他的立场植根于一些原则，包括优先考虑利比亚利益、维护其主权和领土完整、保持独立的国家决策、以及拒绝干涉其内政。
Haftar described the maritime agreement as a tool that “could help protect Libya’s rights and economic interests in the Mediterranean and advance shared interests with Türkiye as an influential regional power.”He said his position is rooted in principles that included prioritizing Libya’s interests, safeguarding its sovereignty and territorial integrity, preserving independent national decision-making, and rejecting interference in its internal affairs.
他补充说，这些原则指导着与所有国家的关系，并优先于政治考量或站队。
These principles, he added, guide relations with all countries and take precedence over political considerations or alignments.
哈夫塔尔表示，利比亚的国家优先事项依然是结束分裂、统一国家机构、并在全国恢复国家权威。
Haftar said Libya’s national priority continues to be ending its divisions, unifying state institutions, and restoring state authority across the country.
他说，这些步骤将使利比亚能够独立管理外交关系，并保护其利益和资源。
Those steps would enable Libya to manage its foreign relations and protect its interests and resources independently, he said.
他补充说，与土耳其发展关系是“与地区和地中海国家合作的更广泛方法”的一部分。“只要基于平等、相互尊重和睦邻友好，合作与伙伴关系的大门将对所有与我们拥有共同利益的国家敞开，”他说。哈夫塔尔重申了他对利比亚统一、主权和独立决策的承诺。
He added that developing relations with Türkiye forms part of a “broader approach to cooperation with regional and Mediterranean countries.”“The doors to cooperation and partnership will remain open to all countries with which we share common interests, on the basis of equality, mutual respect, and good neighborliness,” he said. Haftar reaffirmed his commitment to Libya’s unity, sovereignty, and independent decision-making.
他的言论是在利比亚众议院周二批准与土耳其签署的海洋管辖权协议之后发表的，此举推翻了该院此前对该协议的拒绝。
His remarks followed Libya's House of Representatives approving the maritime jurisdiction agreement with Türkiye on Tuesday, reversing its previous rejection of the deal.
土耳其和利比亚于2019年11月签署了海上划界协议，确立了双方在地中海的海洋管辖权区边界。
Türkiye and Libya signed the maritime delimitation agreement in November 2019, establishing the boundaries of their respective maritime jurisdiction areas in the Mediterranean Sea.
