波兰外交部长拉多斯瓦夫·西科尔斯基周五表示，美国提出了一项提议，让波兰成为G20的永久成员，并补充说他正在游说其他国家支持这一举措。
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said Friday that the US tabled a proposal to make Poland a permanent member of the G20, adding that he is lobbying other countries to support the move.
西科尔斯基在美国亚特兰大举行的G20外长会议间隙召开的新闻发布会上，感谢华盛顿在其担任轮值主席国期间邀请波兰参会。“我们非常感谢美国在其担任主席国期间发出了邀请，”他说。
Speaking at a news conference on the sidelines of the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in the US city of Atlanta, Sikorski thanked Washington for inviting Poland to participate under its presidency. "We're very grateful to the United States for having issued the invitation during their presidency," he said.
他说，将担任下一届G20主席国的英国也邀请波兰总理唐纳德·图斯克出席明年在曼彻斯特举行的会议。
He said the UK, which will hold the next G20 presidency, had also invited Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk to attend next year's gathering in Manchester.
西科尔斯基表示，他在会议期间与美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥讨论了可能的联合倡议。
Sikorski said he discussed possible joint initiatives with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio during the meeting.
“我很高兴能坐在鲁比奥部长旁边，因此我们不仅能交换看法，还能交换共同项目的想法。我不能公开透露所有内容，但请期待波美双方在国际舞台上有更多倡议，”他说。
"I was pleased to be sitting next to secretary Rubio, and therefore we were able to exchange not only views but also ideas on common projects. I can't publicly say all of it, but expect more Polish American initiative on the international scene," he said.
谈到乌克兰战争，西科尔斯基敦促在黑海实现停火，以便让乌克兰和俄罗斯的粮食运输能够抵达包括埃及在内的有需要国家。
Turning to the war in Ukraine, Sikorski urged a ceasefire in the Black Sea to allow grain shipments from Ukraine and Russia to reach countries in need, including Egypt.
西科尔斯基还强调了保护国际水道（包括霍尔木兹海峡）的重要性，称这是国际社会的共同利益。
Sikorski also emphasized the importance of protecting international waterways, including the Strait of Hormuz, as a shared interest of the international community.
应美国邀请，波兰今年以正式参与者身份参加G20活动。华沙正在寻求成为该集团的永久成员。
Poland is participating in this year's G20 activities as a full participant following an invitation from the US. Warsaw is seeking permanent membership in the group.
