瑞士总统盖伊·帕梅兰周一表示，面对日益加剧的全球不确定性和贸易紧张局势，瑞士正在推行贸易多元化战略，以减少经济依赖并保障其繁荣。
Switzerland is pursuing a strategy of trade diversification to reduce economic dependencies and safeguard its prosperity amid growing global uncertainty and trade tensions, President Guy Parmelin said Monday.
“贸易关系正受到挑战。经济依赖日益被用作一种权力工具，”帕梅兰在伯尔尼举行的外国记者新闻发布会上表示。
"Trade relationships are being challenged. Economic dependencies are increasingly being used as a tool of power," Parmelin told foreign journalists at a press briefing in Bern.
他警告称，国际经济秩序“承受压力”，并强调瑞士对外国市场的依赖使得孤立主义行不通。
Warning that the international economic order is "under pressure," he stressed that Switzerland’s reliance on foreign markets makes isolationism untenable.
“我们的繁荣在很大程度上依赖于国际贸易，”他说。“因此，孤立主义对瑞士来说不是一个选项。无所作为也不是。多元化是我们的答案。”帕梅兰强调了近期涉及印度、泰国、越南和中国的外交和贸易举措，包括上周五与北京签署的升级版自由贸易协定。
"Our prosperity depends largely on international trade," he said. "Therefore, isolationism is not an option for Switzerland. Nor is inaction. Diversification is our answer." Parmelin highlighted recent diplomatic and trade initiatives involving India, Thailand, Vietnam, and China, including an enhanced free trade agreement signed with Beijing last Friday.
他还指出瑞士与南美贸易集团南方共同市场成员国达成的协议，覆盖约2.7亿人口的市场。然而，他强调拓展新市场不会以牺牲传统伙伴为代价。
He also pointed to Switzerland’s agreement with the countries of the South American trade bloc Mercosur, covering a market of around 270 million people. However, he emphasized that expanding into new markets would not come at the expense of traditional partners.
据总统称，伯尔尼正在打开新的大门，同时与欧洲和美国的主要传统市场保持关系仍是“优先事项”。
Bern is opening new doors, while maintaining relationships with its main traditional markets in Europe and the US remains a "priority," according to the president.
“我们不想减少与欧洲或美国的贸易。我们想增加与全世界的贸易，”他说。
"We do not want to reduce our trade with Europe or the United States. We want to increase our trade with the entire world," he said.
帕梅兰补充说，与华盛顿的贸易摩擦表明了在维持对话的同时捍卫瑞士利益的必要性。“拥有多个强有力伙伴的人脆弱性更小，”他解释道。
Parmelin added that trade tensions with Washington had demonstrated the need to defend Swiss interests while maintaining dialogue. "Those who have several strong partners are less vulnerable," he explained.
他强调“合作优于对抗”和“共同规则优于丛林法则”，并表示这就是为什么伯尔尼依然致力于“开放、公平、基于规则”的全球贸易。
Underlining that "cooperation is better than confrontation" and "common rules are better than the law of the jungle," the president said this is why Bern remains committed to "open, fair, and rules-based" global trade.
