瑞士总统居伊·帕梅兰周一强调，国际军购合同必须得到履行，并对美国军事装备交付长期延误表示担忧。
Swiss President Guy Parmelin on Monday stressed that international arms procurement contracts must be honored, raising concerns over lengthy delays in military equipment deliveries from the US.
在伯尔尼举行的外国记者新闻发布会上，帕梅兰回答阿纳多卢通讯社提问时表示，瑞士向美国采购国防装备历来是通过美国政府而非直接与制造商打交道。
Responding to an Anadolu question during a press briefing for foreign journalists in Bern, Parmelin said Switzerland’s defense purchases from the US have traditionally involved dealing with the American government rather than directly with manufacturers.
他说：“归根结底，对方是政府，这使情况变得复杂。”他指的是涉及新型战斗机的安排。
“In the end, it’s the government, and that complicates the situation,” he said, referring to arrangements involving new fighter jets.
帕梅兰强调，瑞士期望供应商履行合同义务，并提到了“爱国者”防空系统的交付延误。
Parmelin emphasized that Switzerland expects suppliers to fulfill their contractual obligations, citing delays involving the Patriot air defense system.
他说：“当你付款购买、签署合同，你期望合同得到尊重并收到货物。”
“When you pay and you buy, you sign a contract, you expect the contract to be respected and to receive your delivery,” he said.
当被问及采购困难是否预示着对美国信心的丧失时，帕梅兰没有证实这种转变。
Asked whether the procurement difficulties signaled a loss of confidence in the US, Parmelin stopped short of confirming such a shift.
他说：“不说信任已经消失，但当涉及你的个人安全、国家安全时，这是极其微妙的事情。”他指的是面临五到七年交付延误的装备。
“Without saying that trust has disappeared, this is something extremely delicate when it comes to your personal security, the security of your country,” he said, referring to equipment facing delivery delays of five to seven years.
他表示，作为军事同盟之外的中立国，瑞士必须强化本国防务工业和后勤能力，同时实现军购多元化，并扩大与周边欧洲国家的合作。
He said Switzerland, as a neutral country outside military alliances, must strengthen its domestic defense industry and logistical capabilities while diversifying arms purchases and expanding cooperation with neighboring European countries.
帕梅兰强调，此类合作必须尊重瑞士根据《海牙公约》承担的中立义务。
Parmelin stressed that such cooperation must respect Switzerland’s neutrality obligations under the Hague Conventions.
他说：“因此，我们不能想做什么就做什么。我们有承诺；我们与多个国家签署了购买武器的合同。这些合同必须得到尊重。”
“Therefore, we cannot do just anything. We have commitments; we have contracts with various countries to purchase arms. These contracts must be respected,” he said.
10月下旬，瑞士表示正在考虑直接从美国国防公司购买军事装备，而不再依赖华盛顿作为中介。
In late October, Switzerland said it was considering buying military equipment directly from US defense companies instead of relying on Washington as an intermediary.
根据美国对外军售计划，瑞士通过美国政府采购美国军事装备，这使得买方在解决价格争议或寻求延迟交付赔偿方面选择有限。
Under the US Foreign Military Sales program, Switzerland purchases American military equipment through the US government, leaving buyers with limited options to resolve pricing disputes or seek compensation for delayed deliveries.
联邦国防采购办公室（Armasuisse）负责人乌尔斯·洛厄尔对瑞士《新苏黎世报》表示，爱国者防空系统的某些组件或许可直接向制造商采购，但通过这种途径采购F-35等先进战机则不可行。
Urs Loher, head of the Federal Office for Defense Procurement (Armasuisse), told Swiss daily Neue Zurcher Zeitung that certain components of the Patriot air defense system might be purchased directly from manufacturers, while acquiring advanced fighter jets such as the F-35 through this route would not be feasible.
这一拟议转变之际，瑞士面临爱国者导弹系统交付推迟五至七年的情况，华盛顿优先向德国交付。瑞士已为这些系统预付了超过10亿瑞士法郎（逾12亿美元）。
The proposed shift comes as Switzerland faces a five- to seven-year delay in receiving its Patriot missile systems, with Washington prioritizing deliveries to Germany. Switzerland has already paid more than 1 billion Swiss francs (over $1.2 billion) in advance for the systems.
瑞士当局还评估了一种替代防空系统，联邦委员会预计将做出最终决定。
Swiss authorities have also assessed an alternative air defense system, with the Federal Council expected to make the final decision.
