泰国副总理兼外交部长西哈萨·蓬凯特克奥在曼谷接受欧洲新闻台广泛采访时表示，泰国是“地缘政治安全区”，处于“一个我们看到基于规则的国际秩序正在崩溃的世界”中。
Thailand is a “geopolitically safe zone” “in a world where we see the rules based international order breaking down,” Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister tells Euronews in a wide-ranging interview in Bangkok.
泰国副总理兼外交部长西哈萨·蓬凯特克奥告诉欧洲新闻台，因为“我们生活在一个我们看到基于规则的国际秩序正在崩溃的世界”，“我们需要恢复多边主义，因为没有任何国家能单独行动。”
Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow told Euronews that as “we live in a world where we see the rules-based international order breaking down,” “we need to restore multilateralism, because nobody can go it alone.”
在这次为欧洲新闻台新推出的“世界对话”全球节目进行的广泛采访中，这位拥有40多年外交部服务经验的资深泰国高级外交官，阐述了泰国如何在“主要的全球博弈是在两个都是泰国朋友的超级大国之间”这一背景下，设法保持了对美国和中国的平衡做法。“我们要求我们的朋友不要强迫我们选边站队，”西哈萨解释说，并补充道，“不选边站队并不意味着中立，因为有时中立并不符合你的利益。”他指出了中国在电动汽车领域不断增长的投资以及美国在地区安全中的作用。
In a wide-ranging interview for Euronews’ new World Conversation global programme, the veteran top Thai diplomat, with over 40 years of foreign ministry service, outlined how Thailand has managed to secure a balanced approach with the United States and China at a time when the “the main global contestation is between the two superpowers whom both are friends of Thailand.”“We ask our friends not to force us to take sides,” Sihasak explained, adding that “not taking sides does not mean being neutral as sometimes neutrality does not serve your interest.”He pointed to growing Chinese investment in electric vehicles and the US role in regional security.
这位副总理在曼谷表示，作为一个拥有7亿人口的市场，泰国是“一个地缘政治安全区”，因此其战略目标是维护和平与稳定。在此背景下，他强调了东南亚国家联盟（东盟）联盟为泛亚稳定所发挥的关键作用，并补充说泰国已准备好重建与柬埔寨的关系，且为逐步恢复与缅甸的地区对话进行了辩护。
A market of 700 million people, Thailand is “a geopolitically safe zone,” the deputy prime minister said in Bangkok, and therefore its strategic objective is to maintain peace and stability. In this context, he emphasized the crucial role played by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) alliance for pan-Asian stability, adding that Thailand was ready to rebuild ties with Cambodia and defended a gradual return to regional talks with Myanmar.
