印度飞行员斯米特·马查尔（Captain Smit Machchhar）机长因在空中恐怖袭击中表现出的勇敢行为，获得了阿联酋的“扎耶德二世一级勋章”（First Class Order of Zayed II）。在他之前，至少有两名印度人曾获得同一荣誉。他们是谁？为何获阿联酋授勋？
Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar received the UAE's First Class Order of Zayed II for his bravery during a mid-air terror attack. At least two Indians had received the same honour before him. Who are they, and why were they honoured by the UAE?
印度飞行员斯米特·马查尔机长在阿曼籍副驾驶发动袭击后，协助挽救了阿联酋航空（FlyDubai）一架航班上174名乘客的性命，因此获得了阿联酋最负盛名的平民荣誉之一。然而，他并非首位获得扎耶德二世一级勋章的印度人。
Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar, who helped save 174 passengers aboard a FlyDubai flight after being attacked by his Omani co-pilot, has received one of the UAE's most prestigious civilian honours. However, he is not the first Indian to receive the First Class Order of Zayed II.
在他之前，至少有两名印度人曾获得同一勋章，均因其为加强印阿关系做出的贡献而获表彰。与因非凡勇气获奖的马查尔不同，这两位早期获奖者均为印度外交官。
At least two Indians had received the same decoration before him, both for their contributions to strengthening India-UAE relations. Unlike Machchhar, who was recognised for extraordinary bravery, the two earlier recipients were Indian diplomats.
10月27日周二，阿联酋总统穆罕默德·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬（Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan）向马查尔及其他阿联酋航空机组人员授予扎耶德二世一级勋章，以表彰他们在9月30日阿曼籍副驾驶发动驾驶舱恐怖袭击时的表现。奖项由迪拜王储哈姆丹·本·穆罕默德·本·拉希德·阿勒马克图姆（Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum）颁发。
On Tuesday, October 27, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan conferred the First Class Order of Zayed II on Machchhar and other FlyDubai crew members for their actions during the September 30 cockpit terrorist attack by the Omani co-pilot. The awards were presented by Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
扎耶德二世一级勋章是阿联酋高级别平民勋章，通常授予外国外交官、高级官员和杰出国际人士，以表彰他们的服务与贡献。该勋章不同于“扎耶德勋章”（Order of Zayed），后者是阿联酋最高平民勋章，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪（Narendra Modi）于2019年8月曾获此荣誉。
The First Class Order of Zayed II is a high-level UAE civilian decoration generally awarded to foreign diplomats, senior officials and distinguished international figures for their service and contributions. The honour is distinct from the Order of Zayed, the UAE's highest civilian decoration, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi received in August 2019.
阿联酋的扎耶德二世一级勋章以该国建国总统扎耶德·本·苏尔坦·阿勒纳哈扬（Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan）命名，他自1971年起执政，直至2004年去世。
The UAE's First Class Order of Zayed II is named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the country's founding president, who ruled from 1971 until his death in 2004.
马查尔在迪拜飞往特拉维夫的航班上遭副驾驶用驾驶舱斧头袭击，身受重伤，据报道该航班在不到30秒内急坠近14,000英尺（约4,267米）。尽管身负重伤，他仍设法打开了驾驶舱门，让其他人制服了这名恐怖分子副驾驶，随后飞机在沙特阿拉伯西部安全着陆。
Machchhar was seriously injured when his co-pilot attacked him with a cockpit axe aboard the Dubai-Tel Aviv flight, which reportedly plunged nearly 14,000 feet in less than 30 seconds. Despite his injuries, he managed to open the cockpit door, allowing others to overpower the terrorist co-pilot before the aircraft landed safely in western Saudi Arabia.
在与莫迪总理的视频通话中，马查尔透露他在遭难过程中诵读了《哈努曼赞颂》。他的勇敢举动也赢得了以色列总理内塔尼亚胡的赞扬，以色列方面宣布计划授予他一项平民英勇奖章。那么，在马查尔之前，获阿联酋“扎耶德二世一级勋章”的两位印度人是谁？
During a video call with PM Modi, Machchhar revealed that he had recited the Hanuman Chalisa during the ordeal. His bravery also drew praise from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while Israel announced plans to confer a civilian bravery award on him. So, who are the two Indians to recieve the UAE's First Class Order of Zayed II before Machchhar?
纳夫迪普·辛格·苏里于2019年获阿联酋荣誉 此前获确认的两位印度获奖者中的第一位是纳夫迪普·辛格·苏里，他于2016年12月至2019年9月担任印度驻阿联酋大使。
NAVDEEP SINGH SURI RECEIVED UAE HONOUR IN 2019 The first of the two previously confirmed Indian recipients was Navdeep Singh Suri, who served as India's ambassador to the UAE from December 2016 to September 2019.
2019年9月11日，阿联酋外交部宣布，时任总统谢赫·哈利法·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬授予苏里“扎耶德二世一级勋章”。该勋章由时任阿联酋外交与国际合作部长谢赫·阿卜杜拉·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬在阿布扎比的一次会晤中颁发。
On September 11, 2019, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that then-President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan had conferred the First Class Order of Zayed II on Suri. The decoration was presented by Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, then UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, during a meeting in Abu Dhabi.
根据阿联酋政府的官方声明，苏里因对发展和加强两国关系作出的贡献而获此荣誉。
According to the UAE government's official statement, Suri was honoured for his contribution to developing and strengthening relations between the two countries.
谢赫·阿卜杜拉赞扬了这位印度大使为深化双边合作所作的努力，并祝愿他在未来的任职中取得成功。
Sheikh Abdullah praised the Indian ambassador's efforts to deepen bilateral cooperation and wished him success in his future assignments.
苏里任职期间正值印阿关系大幅拓展。两国于2017年将关系提升至全面战略伙伴关系，并在国防、投资、能源和基础设施等领域扩大了合作。
Suri's tenure coincided with a significant expansion of India-UAE relations. The two countries elevated their ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2017, while cooperation expanded in defence, investment, energy and infrastructure.
苏里于2019年9月从印度外交部退休，结束了长达36年的外交生涯。他曾担任印度驻埃及大使和驻澳大利亚高级专员。该奖项是在他在阿布扎比任期即将结束时授予的。
Suri retired from the Indian Foreign Service in September 2019 after a 36-year diplomatic career. He had previously served as India's ambassador to Egypt and high commissioner to Australia. The award came towards the end of his tenure in Abu Dhabi.
苏尼杰·苏迪尔于2025年获颁同一荣誉 六年后，另一位印度大使获得了同一勋章。苏尼杰·苏迪尔曾于2021年11月至2025年9月担任印度驻阿联酋大使，于2025年9月17日被授予扎耶德二世一级勋章。
SUNJAY SUDHIR RECEIVED THE SAME HONOUR IN 2025 Six years later, another Indian ambassador received the same decoration. Sunjay Sudhir, who served as India's ambassador to the UAE from November 2021 to September 2025, was conferred the First Class Order of Zayed II on September 17, 2025.
该勋章由阿联酋总统谢赫·穆罕默德·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬授予，由该国副总理兼外交大臣谢赫·阿卜杜拉·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬颁发。
The decoration was awarded by UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and presented by Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the country's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
据阿联酋外交部称，苏迪尔因在多个领域加强印阿全面战略关系而获表彰。他的任期见证了经贸和教育合作的重大进展。
According to the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sudhir was recognised for strengthening the comprehensive strategic relationship between India and the UAE across several sectors. His tenure saw major developments in economic and educational cooperation.
苏迪尔在谈判和落实《印阿全面经济伙伴关系协定》（CEPA）中发挥了重要作用，该协定于2022年2月签署。他还协助推动了印度理工学院德里分校阿布扎比校区和印度管理学院艾哈迈达巴德分校迪拜校区的建立。
Sudhir played an important role in negotiating and implementing the India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which was signed in February 2022. He also helped facilitate the establishment of IIT Delhi's Abu Dhabi campus and IIM Ahmedabad's Dubai campus.
他任内的其他举措包括统一支付接口（UPI）和“卢比支付”（RuPay）在阿联酋的受理范围扩大，以及涉及投资和技术的合作。
Other initiatives during his tenure included the expansion of UPI and RuPay acceptance in the UAE and cooperation involving investments and technology.
苏迪尔此前曾于2019年至2021年担任印度驻马尔代夫高级专员。斯米特·马查尔获奖有何不同？
Sudhir had previously served as India's high commissioner to the Maldives between 2019 and 2021. WHAT MAKES SMIT MACHCHHAR'S HONOUR DIFFERENT?
前两位印度获奖者因外交服务获奖。马查尔及其机组成员则因在恐怖袭击引发的航空紧急情况中表现出的勇气而获颁勋章。
The two earlier Indian recipients were honoured for diplomatic service. Machchhar and his fellow crew members received the decoration for their courage during an aviation emergency prompted by a terror attack.
据阿联酋官方声明，该表彰旨在肯定机组人员在9月30日恐怖袭击中为保护乘客和确保飞机安全所作的努力。
According to the UAE's official announcement, the recognition acknowledged the crew's efforts to protect passengers and secure the aircraft during the September 30 terror attack.
出席仪式的阿联酋高层领导人包括总统谢赫·穆罕默德·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬和迪拜统治者谢赫·穆罕默德·本·拉希德·阿勒马克图姆。
The ceremony was attended by senior UAE leaders, including President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
马查尔获奖此前还获得了印度、以色列和美国领导人的赞誉。马查尔船长获此殊荣之所以意义重大，是因为它表彰了一位印度航空专业人士，其行动帮助避免了一起可能造成灾难性后果的空中恐怖袭击。另外两名印度人则因对印阿双边关系和外交的贡献而获奖。
Machchhar's recognition also follows praise from leaders in India, Israel and the United States. What makes the honour for Captain Machchhar significant is that it recognises an Indian aviation professional whose actions helped avert a potentially catastrophic mid-air terror attack. The other two Indians were honoured for their contributions to India-UAE bilateral ties and diplomacy.
