据印度新闻社报道，印度呼吁外层空间应保持为合作领域而非冲突领域，并敦促各国谈判达成一项具有法律约束力的国际协议，以防止外层空间军备竞赛。
India has called for outer space to remain a realm of cooperation rather than conflict and urged countries to negotiate a legally binding international agreement to prevent an arms race in space, news agency Press Trust of India reported.
据印度新闻社报道，周二，印度议员苏达·穆尔蒂在联合国大会第一委员会发表印度关于外层空间的声明时表示，印度主张达成一项普遍可接受、可核查、并在裁军谈判会议框架下由多国谈判达成的协议。
穆尔蒂说：“印度是一个主要航天国家。我们的航天计划既有发展维度，也有安全维度。”
她说：“印度认为外层空间属于我们所有人。我们是一个地球、一个家庭、共享一个未来。我们的观点是，外层空间应保持为合作领域，而非冲突领域。”
Delivering India's statement on outer space at the United Nations General Assembly First Committee on Tuesday, Member of Parliament Sudha Murty said India favoured an agreement that was universally acceptable, verifiable and negotiated by multiple countries at the Conference on Disarmament.“India is a major space-faring nation. Our space programme has both developmental and security dimensions,” Murty said, according to PTI.“India believes that outer space belongs to all of us. We are one Earth, one family with one future. It is our view that outer space should remain a realm for cooperation, not conflict,” she said.
穆尔蒂指出航天领域出现了新的参与者，表示既可用于民用也可用于军用的技术和资产已成为现实。
她说：“在防止外层空间军备竞赛的途径以及哪种途径应优先考虑等问题上，分歧依然存在。”
Noting the emergence of new participants in the space sector, Murty said technologies and assets that could have both civilian and military uses had become a reality.“A difference of opinion continues on approaches to preventing an arms race in outer space and on which approach should take priority,” she said.
印度重申倾向于达成一项关于《防止外层空间军备竞赛》的具有法律约束力的协议。穆尔蒂表示，印度也对普遍且非歧视性的自愿规范持开放态度，同时支持采取措施提高透明度和建立互信。然而，她强调，这些措施只能补充，而不能取代具有法律约束力的协议。
India reiterated its preference for a legally binding agreement on the Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space. Murty said India was also open to universal and non-discriminatory voluntary norms, along with measures to improve transparency and build confidence. However, she stressed that these could complement, but not replace, a legally binding agreement.
印度还表示，必须将对外层空间安全、安保及长期可持续性的威胁，与误解和误判的风险，以及构成在外层空间使用武力的门槛等问题一并考虑。
她说：“有选择地关注某些威胁而忽视其他威胁将适得其反。核查空间行为，包括获取相关信息和数据，也构成现实挑战。”
India also said threats to the safety, security and long-term sustainability of outer space must be considered alongside the risks of misunderstanding and miscalculation, as well as the threshold for what constitutes the use of force in space.“A selective focus on some threats or others would be counterproductive. Verifying space behaviour, including access to relevant information and data, also poses real challenges. Mandates of various fora focusing on space security, safety, and sustainability must be respected,” Murty said, as reported by PTI.
“各种关注空间安全、保障和可持续性的论坛的授权必须得到尊重，”PTI援引穆蒂的话报道称。她补充说，应避免重叠以及为同一问题创建多套标准。穆蒂表示，作为发展中国家，印度认为，该进程的任何成果都不应阻碍为和平和合法目的进行科学技术研究的交流。她还强调了印度的太空成就和未来计划，指出该国于2023年在月球上成功着陆航天器，并正在为载人航天计划“加加尼亚恩”做准备。
She added that overlaps and the creation of multiple standards for the same issues should be avoided. Murty said India, as a developing country, believed that any outcome of the process must not discourage the exchange of scientific and technological research for peaceful and legitimate purposes. She also highlighted India's space achievements and future plans, noting that the country had landed a spacecraft on the Moon in 2023 and was preparing for its human spaceflight programme, Gaganyaan.
印度还计划建设“巴尔蒂亚·安塔里克沙站”国家空间站。穆蒂是第二批抵达联合国进行熟悉性访问的印度议员团成员。议员们预计将在联合国总部会见官员、高级联合国代表、特使以及印度侨民成员。印度的声明呼吁达成一项全面且具有法律约束力的全球协议，以防止外层空间发生冲突，同时保护和平的科学技术合作。
India also plans to build the Bharatiya Antariksha Station, its national space station. Murty is part of the second group of visiting Indian parliamentarians who arrived for a familiarisation visit to the United Nations. The lawmakers are scheduled to meet officials at the UN headquarters, senior UN representatives, envoys and members of the Indian diaspora. India's statement called for a comprehensive and legally binding global agreement to prevent conflict in outer space while protecting peaceful scientific and technological cooperation.
