加拿大:外长 Anand 称中等强国战略推进 目标十年内非美贸易翻倍

加拿大外交部长 Anita Anand 10月31日在美国亚特兰大表示,加拿大正快速推进与世界各地的贸易与安全联系多元化,目标是在未来十年把非美国贸易翻倍;渥太华在建立北美以外的新关系时强调信任。Anand 是在美国主办的二十国集团(G20)外长会间隙对路透社说这番话的,俄罗斯外长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫(Sergei Lavrov)的与会凸显了该集团内部的深刻分歧。
总理马克·卡尼(Mark Carney)已誓言十年内把加拿大非美贸易翻倍,背景是美国总统特朗普的关税冲击加拿大经济、加拿大与华盛顿达成协议的努力破裂,卡尼政府转而积极寻求从亚太到欧洲和中东的贸易协定。
Anand 说,这是加拿大的中等强国(middle power)外交,并举例加拿大与北欧国家在北极安全上合作应对俄罗斯威胁、与印度和澳大利亚在超级智能(SI)与创新领域保护公民隐私,以及扩大与欧盟的联系;她提到本周早些时候发布的新国家安全战略,重点放在关键矿产、能源与粮食安全上。
她说,加拿大已与世界各地的国家和伙伴达成20项新的安全与贸易协议,覆盖51个以上国家、15亿消费者;加拿大还是七国集团中唯一与所有其他 G7 国家都有自由贸易协定的国家,并预计在今年年底前与东盟达成类似的贸易协议。
Canada: Foreign Minister Anand Says Middle-Power Strategy Advances With Goal to Double Non-US Trade in a Decade
Canada is making rapid progress in diversifying its trade and security ties around the world with a goal of doubling its non-US trade in the next decade, Foreign Minister Anita Anand said in Atlanta on October 31, as Ottawa emphasises trust in building new relationships outside North America. Anand spoke to Reuters on the sidelines of a US-hosted meeting of foreign ministers from the Group of 20 major economies, where the participation of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov exposed deep rifts troubling the grouping.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has vowed to double Canada's non-US trade over the next decade as US President Donald Trump's tariffs have rippled through Canada's economy and efforts to reach a deal with Washington have broken down, driving Ottawa to pursue trade pacts from the Asia Pacific to Europe and the Middle East.
Anand called this Canada's middle power diplomacy, citing work with Nordic countries on Arctic safety and security in the face of growing Russian threats, efforts with India and Australia to protect citizens' privacy in super intelligence (SI) and innovation, and expanding ties to the European Union, including a new national security strategy released earlier in the week focused on critical minerals, energy and food security.
Ottawa has forged 20 new security and trade agreements giving it access to 1.5 billion consumers in more than 51 countries, she said, adding that Canada is the only G7 country with free trade agreements with every other G7 country and expects to conclude a similar trade deal with ASEAN before the end of the year.
