“八国发展组织”（D8）秘书长、大使苏海勒·马哈茂德周五表示，该组织在促进和平与稳定方面发挥着重要作用，并强调了其成员国的地缘战略和地缘经济意义。
The Developing Eight (D8) Organization for Economic Cooperation plays an important role in promoting peace and stability, Secretary-General Ambassador Sohail Mahmood said Friday, highlighting the geostrategic and geoeconomic significance of its member countries.
马哈茂德在第九届伊斯坦布尔调解会议间隙接受阿纳多卢通讯社采访时说：“所有这些国家都具有重要的地缘战略和地缘经济意义。每个国家也都拥有相当的能力，能够影响其所在地区的事态发展。”
"All these countries are of great geostrategic and geoeconomic importance. Each also possesses considerable capacity to influence developments in its respective region," Mahmood told Anadolu on the sidelines of the 9th Istanbul Mediation Conference.
马哈茂德强调了此次会议的重要性，他说，世界正处于一个以不同地区激烈冲突为标志的时代。
Emphasizing the importance of the conference, Mahmood said the world is going through an era marked by intense conflicts across different regions.
他说：“目前全球有65多场正在进行的冲突。这意味着有100多个国家以这样或那种方式卷入了冲突。”他补充道：“根据一项统计，世界上约四分之一的人口生活在冲突地区。”马哈茂德将今年会议的主题——“和平伙伴关系与新视角：变化世界中的调解”形容为特别有意义。
"There are currently more than 65 ongoing conflicts worldwide. This means that more than 100 countries are involved in conflict in one way or another,” he said, adding: “According to one statistic, approximately one-quarter of the world's population lives in conflict zones.”Mahmood described this year's conference theme, Partnerships for Peace and New Perspectives: Mediation in a Changing World, as particularly meaningful.
他说：“当我们看到和平与安全面临的挑战是如何出现的，看到武力越来越多地被用于解决争端和分歧，看到对国际法的漠视，以及对多边主义和多边机构的抹黑，我们就会认识到，是时候翻开新的一页了。”
"When we look at the way challenges to peace and security are emerging, with the increasing use of force to resolve disputes and disagreements, the disregard for international law, and the discrediting of multilateralism and multilateral institutions, we see that it is time to turn a new page," he said.
马哈茂德表示，土耳其通过举办此类会议展示了其为调解专家提供平台的意愿，这使与会者能够应对调解面临的挑战并探讨可能的解决方案。
Mahmood said Türkiye has demonstrated its willingness to provide a platform for mediation experts by hosting such conferences, which allow participants to address challenges facing mediation and discuss possible solutions.
马哈茂德指出了土耳其在俄乌战争、黑海粮食倡议以及非洲冲突方面的调解努力，强调了该国的战略地位。
Pointing to Türkiye’s mediation efforts concerning the Russia-Ukraine war, the Black Sea Grain Initiative and conflicts in Africa, Mahmood highlighted the country's strategic position.
他强调，拥有经济和外交能力的国家利用其资源支持和平与调解工作至关重要。真诚对话、可持续调解、区域主导提及土耳其外长哈坎·费丹在会议上的开场致辞，马哈茂德回忆称，费丹强调了真诚对话、可持续调解和区域主导。
He stressed the importance of countries with economic and diplomatic capabilities using their resources to support peace and mediation efforts. Sincere dialogue, sustainable mediation, regional ownership Referring to Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan's opening remarks at the conference, Mahmood recalled that Fidan emphasized sincere dialogue, sustainable mediation and regional ownership.
他说：“我认为，聚焦这三项基本原则，有望在解决我们地区以及世界其他地区正在进行的冲突方面取得重大进展。”
"I believe focusing on these three fundamental principles could enable significant progress in resolving ongoing conflicts, both in our region and in different parts of the world," he said.
他补充道：“这对‘八国发展组织’（D8）也至关重要。该组织最初由土耳其、巴基斯坦、伊朗、孟加拉国、印度尼西亚、马来西亚、尼日利亚和埃及共同发起成立。随着阿塞拜疆加入，现已由九个国家组成。
"This is also critically important for the D8. The organization was initially established with the participation of Türkiye, Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria and Egypt. With Azerbaijan's accession, it now consists of nine countries.
“所有这些国家都具有重要的地缘战略和地缘经济意义。每个国家在其所在地区也都拥有相当大的影响力。”
"All these countries are of great geostrategic and geoeconomic importance. Each also possesses considerable capacity to influence developments in its respective region," he added.
马哈茂德指出，巴基斯坦等国在今年早些时候促成伊朗与美国达成停火方面发挥了重要作用，而土耳其、埃及及其他国家则大力支持了这些努力。
Mahmood noted that countries such as Pakistan played an important role in securing a ceasefire between Iran and the US earlier this year, while Türkiye, Egypt and other countries strongly supported those efforts.
他还提到了周五在伊斯坦布尔举行的R4（土耳其、埃及、巴基斯坦和沙特阿拉伯）和R4+E3（德国、英国和法国）外长会议。
He also referenced the R4 (Türkiye, Egypt, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia) and R4+E3 (Germany, the UK and France) foreign ministers' meetings held in Istanbul on Friday.
马哈茂德表示，此类新平台支持外交与对话，重申D8在促进和平与稳定方面发挥着重要作用。绿色与数字化转型马哈茂德表示，D8的主要使命是经济合作与一体化，指出该组织正致力于增加成员国间贸易，并加强从农业、工业到交通、能源、旅游和医疗等领域的经济合作。
Mahmood said such new platforms support diplomacy and dialogue, reiterating that the D8 has an important role to play in promoting peace and stability. Green, digital transformations Mahmood said the D8's primary mission is economic cooperation and integration, noting that the organization is working to increase trade among its members and strengthen economic cooperation in sectors ranging from agriculture and industry to transportation, energy, tourism and healthcare.
他说：“我们也意识到，我们生活在一个单边主义和保护主义日益抬头的世界。”
"We are also aware that we live in a world where unilateralism and protectionism are increasingly gaining ground," he said.
“在这种情况下，像D8成员国这样的国家团结起来，加强供应链和价值链、增强韧性是极其重要的。”
"Under these circumstances, it is extremely important for countries such as D8 members to come together to strengthen their supply chains and value chains and enhance their resilience.
“在此背景下，我们正专注于改善相互合作，在我们的资源和能力之间创造更大的协同效应，并应对当今正在发生的两大转型。”马哈茂德将第一大转型确定为气候变化驱动的“绿色转型”，并指出土耳其在这一领域发挥着重要作用。
"In this context, we are focusing on improving mutual cooperation, creating greater synergy among our resources and capabilities, and addressing the two major transformations taking place today." Mahmood identified the first transformation as the "green transition" driven by climate change, noting that Türkiye plays a significant role in this area.
他表示，第二大转型是“数字转型”，并补充说该组织力求在这两方面都取得进展。
He said the second major transition is the "digital transformation," adding that the organization aims to make progress on both fronts.
十年路线图 马哈茂德表达了D8国家对巴勒斯坦人民的支持，并表示成员国在寻求公正、公平和持久解决巴勒斯坦问题上始终展现出团结。
10-year roadmap Expressing the D8 countries' support for the Palestinian people, Mahmood said member states have consistently demonstrated solidarity in seeking a just, equitable and lasting solution to the Palestinian question.
他表示，近年来D8国家组织了部长级和领导人之间的各种会议，探讨如何为人道主义援助努力做出贡献。
He said D8 countries have organized various meetings at the ministerial level and among leaders in recent years to explore how they could contribute to humanitarian assistance efforts.
在概述该组织的主要优先事项时，马哈茂德表示：“我们的首要优先事项是实施一项涵盖2020年至2030年期间的计划，即所谓的‘十年路线图’。我们的主要目标之一是将D8国家之间的贸易额提升至5000亿美元。这是我们的首要优先事项之一。”马哈茂德还指出，D8即将迎来成立30周年，并补充说该组织的下一次峰会定于2027年在印度尼西亚举行。
Outlining the organization's main priorities, Mahmood said: "Our primary priority is to implement a plan covering the 2020-2030 period, known as the '10-year roadmap.' One of our main objectives is to increase trade volume among D8 countries to $500 billion. This is among our top priorities." Mahmood also noted that the D8 is approaching the 30th anniversary of its establishment, adding that the organization's next summit is scheduled to take place in Indonesia in 2027.
