英国国王查尔斯三世将在安提瓜举行的英联邦领导人会议上发表讲话,探讨奴隶制遗产问题,此举为他为期九天的加勒比海之行画上句号。

King Charles III will address the legacy of slavery in a speech to Commonwealth leaders in Antigua, closing a nine-day Caribbean tour.

英国国王查尔斯三世即将面向在安提瓜举行的英联邦政府首脑会议发表讲话,阐述奴隶制遗产问题,这也是他九天加勒比海之行的最后一站。在发表此番讲话之际,加勒比地区的几个国家正继续敦促英国就跨大西洋奴隶贸易正式道歉并支付经济赔偿。

King Charles III is due to deliver a speech addressing the legacy of slavery to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua, on the final leg of a nine-day tour of the Caribbean. The address comes as several Caribbean nations continue to press Britain for a formal apology and financial reparations tied to the transatlantic slave trade.

英联邦是一个由56个成员国组成的组织,其中大部分成员曾是英国殖民地。该组织就赔偿正义问题已经讨论多年,加勒比共同体赔偿委员会一直在推动债务减免、发展资金和技术转让,而不是直接的现金支付。以往王室对该地区的访问曾引发抗议,要求君主制采取超越表达哀悼的行动。

The Commonwealth, a 56-member grouping largely made up of former British colonies, has debated reparatory justice for years, with the Caribbean Community's reparations commission pushing for debt relief, development funding and technology transfers rather than direct cash payments. Previous royal visits to the region have drawn protests demanding the monarchy go beyond expressions of sorrow.

安提瓜和巴布达在2022年左右的共和制辩论中取消了英国君主的国家元首地位,目前仍在权衡完全独立,该国正值对英联邦贸易和发展纽带的审视加剧之际主办此次峰会。预计领导人除了讨论赔偿问题外,还将讨论气候融资和经济合作。

Antigua and Barbuda, which removed the British monarch as head of state in a 2022-era republic debate and still weighs full independence, is hosting the summit at a moment of heightened scrutiny over Commonwealth trade and development ties. Leaders are expected to discuss climate financing and economic cooperation alongside the reparations question.
