加拿大驻安卡拉大使马塞尔·勒布勒周二表示，加拿大总理马克·卡尼对土耳其的访问将标志着两国“新战略关系的开始”。
勒布勒在卡尼定于10月21日至23日访土前夕接受阿纳多卢通讯社采访时表示：“这确实标志着一段新关系的启动。访问本身不是目的。我想说，这实际上是这段战略关系的开始。”
Ambassador Marcel Lebleu says Carney’s Oct. 21-23 visit will focus on energy, defense cooperation and launching free trade negotiations, stressing that it will be the 1st official visit to Türkiye by a Canadian head of government‘Türkiye is a country where we need to invest more,’ envoy says Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to Türkiye will mark "the beginning of a new strategic relationship" between the two countries, Canadian Ambassador to Ankara Marcel Lebleu said Tuesday. "It really marks the launching of a new relationship.
勒布勒表示，这一愿景为土耳其总统埃尔多安和卡尼所共享，两人此前曾会晤两次。
The visit in itself is not an end in itself. I would say it's actually the beginning of this strategic relationship," he told Anadolu ahead of Carney’s Oct. 21-23 visit to Türkiye.
勒布勒于9月履新安卡拉，他表示，因阿尔伯塔省韦恩赖特军事基地周末发生火灾，造成四名军人死亡、多人受伤，他官邸的加拿大国旗已降半旗志哀。
Lebleu said this vision was shared by Erdogan and Carney, who have met twice previously. Lebleu, who took up his post in Ankara in September, said the Canadian flag at his residence had been lowered to half-staff following a fire at the Wainwright military base in Alberta over the weekend that killed four service members and left several others injured.
大使表示，这将是加拿大政府首脑首次对土耳其进行正式访问。他补充说，此前没有土耳其总统对加拿大进行过国事访问。
The ambassador said it would be the first official visit to Türkiye by a Canadian head of government. He added that no Turkish president had previously made a state visit to Canada.
回忆递交国书时与土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安的会晤，勒布勒表示会谈富有成果，并强调了加强双边关系的重要性。
Recalling his meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan when he presented his credentials, Lebleu said the talks had been productive and stressed the importance of strengthening bilateral ties.
他补充道：“土耳其是一个我们需要投入更多的国家。我不是指经济投资，而是在我们的关系上投入更多。我们看到这是一个可以建立战略伙伴关系的国家。”
"Türkiye is a country where we need to invest more. I'm not talking about economic investment, but investing more in our relation. We see a country in which we can create a strategic partnership," he added.
能源合作 勒布勒表示，卡尼此访的主要目标是通过两国领导人发表联合声明，正式启动战略伙伴关系。双方还将制定行动计划，推进多领域合作，其中能源是重中之重。
Energy cooperation Lebleu said the main objective of Carney’s visit was to formally launch a strategic partnership through a joint declaration by the two leaders. An action plan would also be drawn up to advance cooperation in several areas, with energy among the key priorities.
“我们将探讨如何在能源供应方面合作，这对每个国家来说都已变得具有挑战性。加拿大拥有大量天然气。我们必须看看这如何能够实现，”他说。
"We're going to explore how can we work together in terms of energy supply, which has become challenging for every country. Canada has lots of gas. We have to see how this can work," he said.
他说，议程将涵盖能源、核合作、可持续采矿和国防工业，并将其描述为“一个非常雄心勃勃的议程”。
He said the agenda would cover energy, nuclear cooperation, sustainable mining and the defense industry, describing it as "a really ambitious agenda." Lebleu identified defense cooperation as another key pillar, saying Canada sees "a great potential here."
勒布勒将国防合作确定为另一支柱，称加拿大看到这里“有巨大潜力”。
Referring to his visits to Turkish defense companies ASELSAN and BAYKAR, he said: "I was shocked. They have 10,000 engineers.
提及他访问土耳其国防公司阿塞尔斯安和拜卡尔时，他说：“我震惊了。他们有1万名工程师。我参观了拜卡尔。拜卡尔的员工平均年龄是29岁。按任何加拿大标准来看，这都非常年轻。他们正在建造那些令人难以置信的资产。”自由贸易谈判将于11月开始勒布勒表示，另一项关键要素将是启动土耳其—加拿大自由贸易协定谈判，谈判预计将于11月开始，正如此前宣布的那样。
I visited BAYKAR. BAYKAR's average age of their worker is 29 years old. This is really young by any Canadian standard. They're building those incredible assets." Free trade talks to begin in November Lebleu said another key element would be the launch of negotiations on a Türkiye-Canada free trade agreement, with talks expected to begin in November, as previously announced.
他说，两国还将签署一项航空运输协议，并指出，现有安排已使两国之间每周航班数量增加到21班。
The two countries would also sign an air transport agreement, he said, noting that an existing arrangement had already increased the number of weekly flights between them to 21.
勒布勒表示，卡尼和埃尔多安已明确，经济合作和建设工业主权是关键优先事项，并强调，这可以通过伙伴关系实现。“主权并不意味着独自完成一切，”他说。
Lebleu said Carney and Erdogan had made clear that economic cooperation and building industrial sovereignty were key priorities, stressing that this could be achieved through partnerships. "Sovereignty does not mean doing everything alone," he said.
勒布勒表示，目前航班连接伊斯坦布尔与多伦多、蒙特利尔和温哥华，其中大部分由土耳其航空运营。加拿大航空公司加拿大跨大西洋航空公司计划于10月29日开通蒙特利尔至伊斯坦布尔的航班。
Flights currently connect Istanbul with Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, most of them operated by Turkish Airlines, Lebleu said. Canadian carrier Air Transat is scheduled to launch flights between Montreal and Istanbul on Oct. 29.
大使表示，卡尼将由加拿大外交部长阿尼塔·阿南德和能源与自然资源部长蒂姆·霍奇森陪同，他们预计将与土耳其对应官员会面。
Carney will be accompanied by Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand and Energy and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson, who are expected to meet their Turkish counterparts, the ambassador said.
加拿大出口发展公司（EDC，该国官方出口信贷机构）的首席执行官也将随团出行。
The chief executive of Export Development Canada (EDC), the country's official export credit agency, will also join the delegation.
勒布卢表示，EDC将与土耳其出口信贷银行（Türk Eximbank）签署合作协议，帮助加拿大和土耳其公司在中东和非洲等市场开展合作。
Lebleu said EDC would sign a cooperation agreement with Türk Eximbank to help Canadian and Turkish companies work together in markets such as the Middle East and Africa.
勒布卢补充说，加拿大预计派出约200人的代表团，参加土耳其将于11月在安塔利亚主办的第31届联合国气候变化大会（COP31）。加拿大敦促以色列“退后”“以色列有权反恐自卫，我们谴责哈马斯。但话说回来，我们的立场也是，巴勒斯坦人需要得到承认，”勒布卢说。
Lebleu added that Canada expected to send a delegation of around 200 people to the 31st UN Climate Change Conference (COP31), which Türkiye will host in Antalya in November. Canada urges Israel to 'step back' "Israel has all the right to defend itself against terrorism and we condemn Hamas. But saying that, our position is also that Palestinians need to be recognized," Lebleu said.
加拿大于2025年承认巴勒斯坦为一个国家，并继续支持两国方案，他说。
Canada recognized Palestine as a state in 2025 and continues to support a two-state solution, he said.
勒布卢提到，法国、英国和加拿大领导人9月发表的一份声明将被占领巴勒斯坦领土的非法定居点描述为违反国际法，他表示，渥太华正在敦促以色列改变方向。
Referring to a statement issued in September by the leaders of France, the UK and Canada that described illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories as contrary to international law, Lebleu said Ottawa was pressing Israel to change course.
“我们正在向以色列政府施压，要求其在这一问题上退后，”他补充说。
"We are making pressure on the government of Israel to step back on this," he added.
勒布卢强调，和平解决方案至关重要，并补充说，尽管观点存在分歧，和平仍然是唯一前进的道路。
Lebleu stressed that a peaceful solution was essential, adding that peace remained the only way forward despite differing perspectives.
勒布卢将人道主义局势描述为“严峻”，并表示，“人们正在受苦”，强调联合国在应对危机中的重要性。
Describing the humanitarian situation as "dire," Lebleu said, "People are suffering," and stressed the importance of the UN in addressing the crisis.
自冲突开始以来，加拿大已通过联合国机构提供了5亿加元的人道主义援助，并于10月宣布为巴勒斯坦人提供额外1亿加元的援助方案，他补充说。
Canada has provided 500 million Canadian dollars in humanitarian aid through UN agencies since the conflict began and announced an additional 100 million Canadian dollar aid package for Palestinians in October, he added.
大使开始学习土耳其语 勒布卢表示，他很高兴在安卡拉任职，此前曾在塞内加尔、哥伦比亚和智利担任大使。
Ambassador begins learning Turkish Lebleu said he was pleased to serve in Ankara, having previously held ambassadorial posts in Senegal, Colombia and Chile.
他说，这是他外交生涯中第一次被派驻到一个他不会说其语言的国家，并补充说，他在抵达前已上过土耳其语课程。
He said it was the first time in his diplomatic career that he had been posted to a country whose language he did not speak, adding that he had taken Turkish lessons before arriving.
“土耳其语将是我学习的第四种语言，”他说，并将土耳其人的热情好客形容为“与众不同、高人一等”。
"Turkish will be my fourth language," he said, describing Turkish hospitality as being "another level."
当被问及他最喜欢的土耳其语表达时，他回答：“‘Mashallah’是我最喜欢的那个词。”他还提到，他注意到土耳其人和加拿大人在表达方式及价值观上存在差异。
Asked about his favorite Turkish expression, he said: "Mashallah is my favorite one." He said he had noticed differences between Turks and Canadians in how they express themselves and their values.
他认为，土耳其人更加重视家庭关系；同时，地理因素和地区认同感在土耳其社会中也起着重要作用。
Turkish people, he observed, appeared more attached to their families, while geography and regional identity also played an important role in Türkiye.
