演講內容節錄
Another one of our international priorities is to build up our relations with our neighbors in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. I am pleased to announce that a future DPP administration will pursue a ‘New Southbound Policy’ in the years ahead.
另外一個我們重視的國際議題,是深化與東南亞及印度的關係。我很高興在此宣佈,民進黨政府將在未來推動「新南向政策」。
In the past, our ‘Southbound Policy’ was based on directing Taiwanese investment into Southeast Asian countries.
過去,台灣的「南進政策」主要是引導台灣企業增加在東南亞國家的投資。
Looking forward, trade and investment will form just one component of a diverse and multifaceted partnership, based on the strong people-to-people, cultural, educational and research linkages we have.
當我們著眼未來,貿易與投資僅僅會扮演其中一個合作面向。我們多元、多面向的夥伴關係,亦將建立於雙方的民間交流、文化、教育研究等多方面的連結。
ASEAN and India are poised to become two of the world’s largest economic bodies. Strengthening our overall relations is a natural choice for Taiwan as we diversify our economic and trade ties.
東協和印度即將成為世界上強大的經濟體。在台灣希望推動貿易多元化的同時,強化對東協和印度的整體關係,是我們理所當然的選擇。
In the future, we will form a new task force to actively pursue this policy objective.
未來,我們將成立一個專案小組,積極執行這個政策目標。
