卢森堡众议院议长周四表示，土耳其在国防工业方面的进步可能为两国更紧密的合作铺平道路。
The president of Luxembourg’s Chamber of Deputies said Thursday that Türkiye’s advances in the defense industry could pave the way for closer cooperation between the two countries.
在与土耳其议会议长努曼·库尔图尔穆进行双边及代表团会晤后，克劳德·维塞勒在安卡拉举行的联合新闻发布会上表示：“土耳其拥有非常强大的国防工业。”“我们知道土耳其在这方面取得了非常显著的进展。因此，我认为在国防政策方面，在沟通和信息共享方面可能存在重要的合作伙伴关系，”他说。
Speaking at a joint news conference in Ankara following bilateral and interdelegation meetings with Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmus, Claude Wiseler said: “Türkiye has a very strong defense industry.”“We know that Türkiye has made very significant progress in this regard. Therefore, I believe there could be important partnerships in communication and information sharing when it comes to defense policies,” he said.
维塞勒指出，土耳其与卢森堡的关系可以进一步加强，两国正在庆祝建交80周年。
Noting that relations between Türkiye and Luxembourg could be further strengthened, Wiseler said the two countries were marking the 80th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.
强调双边合作，维塞勒表示：“我们当然一直是伙伴。我们一直在讨论问题、举行会谈并保持联系。然而，鉴于当今世界的地缘政治局势，这种合作和关系现在需要获得新的动力并提升到新的水平。”“这正是我们不寻找新伙伴的原因。你们已经是我们长期的伙伴，但我们希望将这种伙伴关系推向另一个阶段，提升到不同的水平，”他补充道。
Highlighting bilateral cooperation, Wiseler said: “We have always been partners, of course. We have always discussed issues, held talks and maintained contact. However, given the current geopolitical situation in the world, this cooperation and relationship now need to gain new momentum and move to a new level.”“That is precisely why we are not looking for new partners. You are already a longstanding partner for us, but we want to take this partnership to another stage, to a different level,” he added.
卢森堡从一开始就支持土耳其的欧盟成员国申请。库尔图尔穆则表示：“卢森堡一直是土耳其友好的欧洲国家之一，从一开始就支持其欧盟成员国进程。因此，我认为有必要再次公开向他们表示感谢。”库尔图尔穆表示，土耳其一直主张外交应成为解决所有地区问题的首要途径，并表示土耳其从一开始就一直在俄乌冲突中发挥强大的调停作用。
Luxembourg supported Türkiye’s EU membership bid from outset Kurtulmus, for his part, said: “Luxembourg has been one of the European countries friendly to Türkiye that has supported its EU membership process from the very beginning. Therefore, I consider it my duty to thank them openly once again.”Stating that Türkiye has always maintained that diplomacy should be the primary avenue for resolving all regional problems, Kurtulmus said Türkiye had continued to play a strong mediating role in the Russia-Ukraine war from the outset.
“我们也已表明，美国和以色列对伊朗发动的战争已经演变成一场无休止的紧张局势螺旋，两国、地区国家以及世界都不会从中以任何方式获益，”他说。
“We have also stated that the war launched by the US and Israel against Iran has already turned into an endless spiral of tension, from which neither the two countries, nor regional countries, nor the world will benefit in any way,” he said.
Kurtulmus表示，他们还讨论了以色列长期以来在该地区采取的侵略性立场，以及其影响整个地区的行动，特别是其对巴勒斯坦人民的“非人道行动”。
Kurtulmus said they also discussed Israel’s aggressive stance in the region, which it has maintained for a long time, its actions affecting countries across the region and, in particular, its “inhumane actions” against the Palestinian people.
“我们对卢森堡去年承认巴勒斯坦国的决定表示高度赞赏，并传达了我们的祝贺和感谢，”他说。
“We expressed our strong appreciation for Luxembourg’s decision last year to recognize the State of Palestine and conveyed our congratulations and thanks,” he said.
Kurtulmus表示，另一个具有地区重要性的问题是阿塞拜疆与亚美尼亚之间的局势。
Kurtulmus said another issue of regional importance was developments between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
“我们的讨论重点是，在土耳其参与下，这一正常化进程对于确保高加索地区持久和平，进而建立东西方之间以及亚洲、高加索和欧洲之间安全连接的至关重要性，”他说。
“We focused our discussions on the vital importance of this normalization process, with Türkiye’s involvement, in ensuring lasting peace in the Caucasus and thereby establishing secure connectivity between East and West, and between Asia, the Caucasus and Europe,” he said.
在谈到土耳其与利比亚之间关于划界海洋管辖区的谅解备忘录时，Kurtulmus表示：“这项协议不是针对任何第三国而达成的。”“这是一项将保障土耳其和利比亚在地中海海洋管辖区内主权权利的协议，”他补充道。
Speaking about the Memorandum of Understanding on the Delimitation of Maritime Jurisdiction Areas between Türkiye and Libya, Kurtulmus said: “This agreement was not concluded against any third country.”“It is an agreement that will safeguard the sovereign rights of Türkiye and Libya in their maritime jurisdiction areas in the Mediterranean,” he added.
