加拿大外交部长阿尼塔·阿南德周六表示,加拿大正在迅速推进其在全球范围内的贸易和安全关系多元化,目标是在未来十年将其非美国贸易额翻倍,因为渥太华在建立北美以外的新关系时强调信任。
Canada is making rapid progress in diversifying its trade and security ties around the world with a goal of doubling its non-US trade in the next decade, Foreign Minister Anita Anand said on Saturday, as Ottawa emphasizes trust in building new relationships outside North America.
阿南德在由美国主办的二十国集团(G20)外长会议间隙接受路透社采访时发表上述言论,俄罗斯外长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫的出席暴露了困扰该集团的深层裂痕。
Anand spoke with Reuters on the sidelines of a US-hosted meeting of foreign ministers from the Group of 20 major economies, where the participation of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov exposed deep rifts troubling the grouping.
作为拉夫罗夫出席会议的批评者,阿南德表示,此次会议有助于说明国际秩序已发生转变并出现断裂,并凸显了需要新的方法、集团、联盟和伙伴关系。
A critic of Lavrov's participation, Anand said the meeting helped to illustrate the transformed, ruptured nature of the international order, and underscored the need for new approaches, groupings, alliances and partnerships.
加拿大总理马克·卡尼已誓言在未来十年将加拿大的非美贸易额翻倍,因为美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的关税已冲击加拿大经济。
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has vowed to double Canada's non-US trade over the next decade as President Donald Trump's tariffs have rippled through Canada's economy.
加拿大随后与华盛顿达成协议的努力破裂,迫使卡尼政府积极寻求与从亚太地区到欧洲和中东国家的贸易协定。
Canada's subsequent efforts to reach a deal with Washington have broken down, driving Carney's government to aggressively pursue trade pacts with countries from the Asia Pacific to Europe and Middle East.
阿南德对路透社表示:“这是我们的中等强国外交。”她援引加拿大与北欧国家在面对日益增长的俄罗斯威胁时,在北极安全和安保方面的合作,以及加拿大与印度、澳大利亚在快速发展的人工智能和创新领域共同保护公民隐私的努力。
"This is our middle power diplomacy," Anand told Reuters, citing Canada's work with Nordic countries on Arctic safety and security in the face of growing Russian threats, and its efforts to protect citizens' privacy in the rapidly advancing area of AI and innovation, together with India and Australia.
她还表示,加拿大正在努力扩大与欧盟的关系,并援引本周早些时候发布的新国家安全战略,该战略高度关注关键矿产、能源和粮食安全。
Canada was also working to expand its ties to the European Union, she said, citing a new national security strategy released earlier in the week that puts a major focus on critical minerals, energy and food security.
她说:“加拿大正来到谈判桌前,以确保……在必要时,有新的机制、新的集团、新的联盟和伙伴关系,以应对当下的危机。”
"Canada is coming to the table to ensure that ... there are, if necessary, new bodies, new groupings, new alliances and partnerships in order to address the crises of the day," she said.
渥太华已与世界各地的国家和各方达成20项新的安全与贸易协定,使其能够进入51个国家、覆盖15亿消费者的市场,并将继续推动与美国以外国家的贸易关系扩展。
Ottawa had forged 20 new security and trade agreements with countries and parties all over the world, giving it access to 1.5 billion consumers in more than 51 countries, and the push for expanded trade ties outside the US would continue.
她表示,加拿大是七国集团中唯一与其他所有G7国家均签署自由贸易协定的国家,并预计将在年底前与东盟达成类似的贸易协定。
She said Canada was the only Group of Seven country that had free trade agreements with every other G7 country, and expected to conclude a similar trade deal with ASEAN before the end of the year.
