卡尼本周访土耳其:加拿大与土耳其料签联合宣言,深化防务、能源与经贸合作

渥太华——据路透社报道,加拿大与土耳其预计在总理马克·卡尼本周访问土耳其期间签署一份联合宣言,深化两国在防务、能源、经济与社会外交四个领域的合作。一名知悉情况的人士表示,宣言还将推进双边自由贸易谈判,两国将在各领域设立委员会制定行动计划。
卡尼将是首位专程对土耳其进行双边访问的加拿大总理。他定于周四在安卡拉与土耳其总统埃尔多安会晤,周五在伊斯坦布尔与土耳其商界领袖见面。加拿大政府官员周二在吹风会上未证实将签署的具体文件内容,仅表示卡尼将与埃尔多安推进贸易投资、能源、防务安全与人文交流合作。
一名加拿大官员表示,周五与土耳其企业的会面旨在促进双边贸易投资与新的商业合作,渥太华对土耳其的航空航天、防务、能源、矿业、高科技与农业部门最感兴趣。报道称,谈判议题可能包括核电与液化天然气。
此次访问是卡尼减少对美贸易依赖、加强与地区大国伙伴关系努力的一部分。加拿大与美国正陷入贸易战,特朗普总统曾多次质疑加拿大的主权。土耳其总统府与外交部未回应置评请求。
Carney to Visit Turkey This Week as Canada and Turkey Prepare Joint Declaration on Defence, Energy and Trade
OTTAWA — Canada and Turkey are expected to sign a joint declaration deepening cooperation in defence, energy, the economy and social and diplomatic ties during Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to Turkey later this week, a person briefed on the matter told Reuters. The declaration is also expected to advance bilateral free trade talks, with committees to be established in each area to draft action plans.
Carney will be the first Canadian prime minister to make a dedicated bilateral visit to Turkey. He is set to meet Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara on Thursday and Turkish business leaders in Istanbul on Friday. At a Canadian government briefing on Tuesday, officials declined to confirm what specific declarations or agreements might be signed, saying Carney would meet Erdogan "to advance cooperation in trade and investment, energy, defence and security and people-to-people ties."
The meetings with Turkish companies on Friday are meant to promote bilateral trade and investment, a Canadian official said, adding that Ottawa is most interested in Turkey's aerospace, defence, energy, mining, high-tech and agriculture sectors. Talks may also include nuclear power and liquefied natural gas, Reuters reported.
The visit is part of Carney's efforts to reduce trade dependence on the United States and strengthen partnerships with regional powers amid a damaging trade war with Washington. Turkey's presidency and Foreign Ministry did not respond to requests for comment.
