加拿大总理马克·卡尼于周五为其政府在人权与贸易之间的平衡方式进行辩护，称全球极少数国家能够达到加拿大的标准。
Prime Minister Mark Carney defended his government's approach to balancing human rights and trade on Friday, saying very few countries in the world can meet Canada's standards.
他在土耳其之行接近尾声时发表上述言论，并与土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安政府签署了战略伙伴关系协议，该政府一直受到人权组织的持续批评。
He made the remarks near the end of his trip to Turkey, where he signed a strategic partnership with the government of President Recep Erdogan, which has faced sustained criticism from human rights groups.
本月，随着土耳其政府实施多项高调行动系统性压制反对声音、打压独立新闻以及限制边缘群体，相关投诉进一步升级。
The complaints intensified this month when the Turkish government executed several high-profile operations to systematically silence opposition voices, suppress independent journalism, and restrict marginalized groups.
此前，卡尼曾表示加拿大在此方面采取价值导向的现实主义，承认并非所有伙伴都能共享全部加拿大价值观。“参与这些伙伴关系并不意味着认可，”卡尼周五说道。
In the past Carney has said Canada is pursuing values-based realism in its approach, recognizing that not every partner will share all Canadian values. "Engagement in those partnerships does not mean approval," Carney said Friday.
“世界上极少数国家拥有加拿大的标准。”总理办公室的一份声明称，外交部长阿妮塔·安南在周四的会晤中向其对口官员提出了人权问题。
"There are very few countries in this world that have the standards of Canada." A statement from the Prime Minister's Office said Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand raised the issue of human rights with her counterpart during meetings on Thursday.
记者周五询问卡尼是否在与埃尔多安的单独会面中亲自提出关切，首相拒绝明确回答。
Carney was asked by journalists on Friday whether he personally raised concerns with Erdogan during their separate meeting. The prime minister refused to be pinned down.
卡尼称赞与“卓越伙伴”土耳其达成的新贸易与防务协定，称：“我在这些问题上的做法是直接与领导人对话。我发现直接、开放的对话比事后详细报道更为有效，但我们已经提出了这些问题。”对土耳其政府专制倾向的担忧在一定程度上掩盖了卡尼深化贸易关系的倡议。
Carney hails new trade, defence pact with 'exceptional partner' Turkey 9 hours ago Duration "My approach on these issues is I have direct conversations with leaders," Carney said. "I find those conversations are more effective when they're direct and open and not then reported out in detail, but we have raised these issues." Concern about the authoritarian reflexes of the Turkish government have partly overshadowed Carney's initiative to deepen trade ties.
总理正寻求让加拿大减少对美国市场的依赖，并实现贸易市场多元化。迄今为止，这方面的努力大部分用于深化与欧洲及印太地区国家的关系，但也包括一些人权记录存疑的其他国家，最近就包括沙特阿拉伯。
The prime minister is looking to make Canada less dependent on the United States market and to diversify its trading markets. Much of the effort has thus far gone into deepening ties with Europe and nations in the Indo-Pacific, but it has also included other states with questionable human rights records, including recently Saudi Arabia.
在周四于安卡拉举行政治会谈后，卡尼在伊斯坦布尔与商界领袖举行了一系列会面。他对美国的说法表示“失望”。
'Disappointed' by U.S. claims Carney is holding a series of meetings with business leaders in Istanbul after the political talks in Ankara on Thursday.
正在推进的协议之一涉及向土耳其出售加拿大核技术的可能性，这个中东国家正试图实现其气候目标。
One of the deals being pursued involves the possible sale of Canadian nuclear technology to Turkey as the Middle Eastern nation attempts to reach its climate goals.
卡尼对记者表示，在签署战略伙伴关系之后，加拿大工程公司阿特金斯雷利斯现在有“很好的机会”被选为土耳其计划建造的两座发电厂的合作伙伴。
Carney told reporters said, following theg of the strategic partnership, there were now "good chances" for Canadian engineering firm AtkinsRealis to be picked as a partner to build the two power plants Turkey is planning.
同样在周五，卡尼对有关加拿大干预美国中期选举的指控作出了更有力的回击。
Also Friday, Carney pushed back more forcefully against allegations of Canadian interference in the U.S. midterm elections.
美国驻渥太华大使馆周四发布了一份情况说明，正式指责加拿大领导人在11月3日投票前进行选举干预。
The U.S. Embassy in Ottawa released a fact sheet on Thursday, officially accusing Canadian leaders of election meddling ahead of the Nov. 3 vote.
卡尼宣布与土耳其建立贸易和防务伙伴关系；加拿大外交官被建议避免与中期选举候选人一同露面。卡尼说：“这些说法毫无根据，所以我要这样明确指出。我对他们的特使竟然认为提出这些暗示是他的职责感到失望。”总理接着表示，加拿大在美国拥有非常深入的外交存在，并与美国公司、公民和个人有大量互动。
Carney announces trade and defence partnership with Turkey Canadian diplomats advised to avoid appearing with midterm candidates "There is no merit to these claims, so I'll call it out that way," Carney said. "I'm disappointed that their envoy sees that as his role to make these suggestions." The prime minister went on to say Canada has a very deep diplomatic presence in the United States and lots of interaction with American companies, citizens and individuals.
他说：“作为一个国家，加拿大非常、非常谨慎，避免被看作干涉民主进程。”
"As a country Canada is very, very careful to not be seen to interfere in the democratic process," he said.
