欧洲理事会主席安东尼奥·科斯塔周四重申，欧洲的安全与乌克兰的安全密不可分。当天，各国领导人齐聚爱尔兰，出席欧洲政治共同体（EPC）峰会。
European Council President Antonio Costa reiterated Thursday that Europe's security is inseparable from Ukraine's as leaders gathered in Ireland for the European Political Community (EPC) summit.
科斯塔在峰会上发表讲话时说，在俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争背景下，欧洲政治共同体为欧洲各国提供了一个讨论欧洲安全的论坛。
Addressing the summit, Costa said the EPC had provided a forum for countries across the continent to discuss European security amid Russia's war on Ukraine.
首届欧洲政治共同体峰会于2022年10月在布拉格举行，当时战争爆发仅数月。
The first EPC summit was held in Prague in October 2022, months after the war began.
科斯塔指出：“这些峰会对强调一点非常重要：所有欧洲国家的安全、我们大陆的安全，都与乌克兰的安全密不可分。”
"These summits have been very important to underline that the security of all European nations, the security of our continent, is inseparable from Ukraine's security," he noted.
科斯塔强调，随着有关结束乌克兰战争的讨论日益密集，这一原则比以往任何时候都更加重要。
Costa stressed that the principle was more important than ever as discussions on ending the war in Ukraine intensified.
俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京周四在莫斯科会见了美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和贾里德·库什纳。此前一天，最新一轮由美国斡旋的乌克兰和平谈判在阿联酋首都阿布扎比结束。
Russian President Vladimir Putin met US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow on Thursday, a day after the latest round of US-mediated Ukraine peace talks concluded in the Emirati capital Abu Dhabi.
科斯塔强调，乌克兰和任何主权国家一样，必须能够自由选择自己的伙伴、盟友和未来。
Costa emphasized that Ukraine, like any sovereign nation, must be free to choose its partners, allies and future.
他指出另一项重要原则：“没有欧洲的声音在谈判桌上，就不能讨论欧洲的安全。”
"Europe's security cannot be discussed without an European voice at the table," he noted as another important principle.
谈到欧洲的安全架构时，科斯塔说，欧洲大陆曾经拥有一个运转正常的框架，但这一框架被俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争逐步削弱，并“最终摧毁”。
Turning to Europe's security architecture, Costa said the continent once had a functioning framework that was gradually undermined and "ultimately destroyed" by Russia's war on Ukraine.
他补充说：“这些原则在今天与50年前一样切合实际，对今天实现公正持久的和平同样不可或缺，欧盟将继续捍卫这些原则。”
"These principles remain as relevant today as indispensable for a just and lasting peace today as they were 50 years ago, the European Union will continue to defend them," he added.
“近年来全球贸易环境更加碎片化” 爱尔兰总理米歇尔·马丁在峰会开幕时发表讲话，敦促欧洲伙伴加强在贸易、能源、基础设施和人文交流等领域的合作。
'Recent years have seen a more fragmented global trading environment' Speaking at the summit's opening, Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin urged European partners to strengthen cooperation across trade, energy, infrastructure and people-to-people ties.
他说，各国需要“深化我们之间的纽带，无论是在贸易、能源、基础设施，还是在民间交往方面。”他补充说：“近年来，随着一些国家退出开放的、基于规则的边境，全球贸易环境变得更加碎片化。”
He said countries needed to "deepen the bonds between us, whether in trade, energy, infrastructure, or in people-to-people links." "Recent years have seen a more fragmented global trading environment, as some have stepped back from an open, rules-based border," he added.
马丁警告说，随着冬季临近，欧洲各地的供应链已紧张并受到干扰，而高昂的能源成本正让家庭和企业承受“更大压力”。
Martin warned that supply chains across Europe had been strained and disrupted as winter approached, while high energy costs were placing households and businesses under "greater pressure."
他说：“我们欧洲政治共同体共同代表超过7亿人口。我们是一个共享价值观、致力于民主、并强烈希望共同为造福我们的人民而努力的共同体。”
"Together, our European political community represents over 700 million people. We are a community that shares values, a commitment to democracy, and a strong wish to work together for the benefit of our people."
