据周三发布的一份声明，英国、荷兰、芬兰和波兰将启动条约谈判，作为联合防务采购计划的一部分，该倡议预计将于2027年投入运作。
The UK, the Netherlands, Finland and Poland will begin treaty negotiations as part of a joint defense procurement scheme, with the initiative expected to become operational in 2027, according to a statement Wednesday.
这四个欧洲国家在联合声明中表示，他们已加大努力，启动作为多边防务机制（MDM）伙伴关系一部分的条约谈判，该机制旨在加快防务投资和联合采购。
In a joint statement, the four European countries said they had stepped up efforts to begin treaty negotiations as part of the Multilateral Defense Mechanism (MDM) partnership, which aims to accelerate defense investment and joint procurement.
声明称：“我们今天可以宣布，MDM伙伴将启动条约谈判，同时尊重各成员国的国内程序，并保持让MDM在2027年投入运行的目标。”
“We can announce today that MDM partners will be commencing treaty negotiations, respecting individual members’ national processes, while maintaining the aim of having the MDM up and running in 2027,” the statement read.
声明指出，MDM将“降低成本、为工业界提供更大的确定性、带来高得多的资金效益，并提升我们北约的联合能力”，最终满足其成员的军事需求。
It noted that the MDM will “reduce costs, give industry greater certainty, deliver much better value for money and improve our joint NATO capabilities,” ultimately meeting the military needs of its members.
据英国政府称，MDM是一种创新的防务开支融资方式，可提供更大的购买力，使参与国能够在不可避免的财政约束下提升自身能力。
According to the British government, the MDM is an innovative way of financing defense spending that provides greater purchasing power, allowing participating countries to improve their capabilities within unavoidable fiscal constraints.
这四国在7月于土耳其安卡拉举行的北约峰会前发表的联合声明中表示：“鉴于迅速演变的国际安全环境以及俄罗斯侵略乌克兰造成的后果，我们将共同行动，做好准备应对未来威胁。我们仍致力于支持乌克兰捍卫其主权、抵抗俄罗斯侵略。”
“In light of the rapidly evolving international security environment and the consequences of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, we shall act together to be prepared to address future threats. We remain committed to supporting Ukraine in defending its sovereignty and resisting Russian aggression,” the four countries said in a joint statement ahead of the NATO summit held in Ankara, Türkiye, in July.
