新西兰新闻秘书处8月4日消息,外交部长纳纳亚·马胡塔将于今天开始与东盟和东亚峰会的外长举行一系列会议,从今晚举行的第十一届东亚峰会(EAS)外长会议开始。随后,东盟-新西兰部长级会议将于8月5日星期四举行,第28届东盟区域论坛将于8月6日星期五举行,届时将有来自印度-太平洋各地的一些伙伴参加。所有会议均通过视频会议进行。  纳纳亚·马胡塔说:”这些年会对新西兰非常重要,因为我们希望与世界重新接触。东盟将一系列重要角色聚集在一起的能力对于找到解决一系列需要区域解决方案的区域问题至关重要。2021年的关键是COVID-19,公平获得疫苗的必要性,以及如何支持包容和可持续的绿色经济复苏”。  纳纳亚·马胡塔说:”新西兰参加东亚首脑会议和东盟区域论坛对于它们关注东亚和东盟16个成员国和东盟地区论坛27个成员国关心的关键政治、经济和安全问题非常重要。她说,新西兰在这些会议上的主要政策优先事项将是大流行、缅甸和海洋问题。  我们希望在应对Covid-19带来的挑战时,与印度-太平洋国家表示声援,我还将敦促对缅甸采取行动。此外,南中国海的紧张局势仍然是新西兰和其他国家一样关切的问题”。  “去年,新西兰庆祝了与东盟集团45年的关系。新西兰与东盟合作的广度加强了整个区域伙伴关系对推进奥特亚罗亚战略利益的重要性。部长指出,东盟几十年来的区域和平与稳定对新西兰有利,因此伙伴关系仍然至关重要。东盟十个成员国加起来是新西兰的第四大贸易伙伴,占我们商品出口总额的10。与东盟的经济合作超越了其作为出口市场的价值,因为东盟将成为我们经济复苏的关键伙伴,既是贸易伙伴,也是维护多边贸易体制的倡导者”。纳纳亚·马胡塔说。

Foreign Minister to take part in ASEAN-related meetings Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta will today begin a suite of meetings with her ASEAN and East Asia Summit counterparts, starting with the 11th East Asia Summit (EAS) Foreign Ministers’ Meeting tonight. That will be followed by the ASEAN-New Zealand Ministerial Meeting on Thursday 5 August and the 28th ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) on Friday 6 August, which brings in a number of additional partners from across the Indo-Pacific. All the meetings are via videoconference. “These annual meetings are of significant importance to New Zealand as we look to re-engage with the world,” Nanaia Mahuta said. “ASEAN’s ability to bring a range of important players together is critical for finding solutions to a range of regional issues that call for regional solutions. Key among them in 2021 are COVID-19, the need for equitable access to vaccines and how to support an inclusive and sustainable, green economic recovery. “Aotearoa New Zealand’s participation in the East Asia Summit and the ASEAN Regional Forum are important for their focus on the key political, economic and security issues of interest to the sixteen members of the EAS and the twenty seven members of the ARF,” said Nanaia Mahuta. She said that New Zealand’s major policy priorities for these meetings will be the pandemic, Myanmar, and maritime issues. “We want to show solidarity with Indo-Pacific states as we tackle the challenges posed by Covid-19, and I will also be urging action on Myanmar. In addition, the tensions in the South China Sea continue to be a concern for New Zealand as they are for others,” said Nanaia Mahuta. Last year New Zealand celebrated 45 years of relations with the ASEAN bloc.  The breadth of New Zealand’s cooperation with ASEAN reinforces the importance of partnerships across the region to advance Aotearoa’s strategic interests. The Minister noted that ASEAN has underpinned decades of regional peace and stability to New Zealand’s benefit and the partnership therefore continues to be vital. “ASEAN’s ten member states together comprise New Zealand’s fourth largest trading partner, accounting for 10% of our total goods exports. Economic cooperation with ASEAN extends beyond its value as an export market, as ASEAN will be a key partner for our economic recovery both as a trading partner and an advocate for upholding the multilateral trading system,” Nanaia Mahuta said.
