发布时间:2015-08-19  编辑:查字典英语网小编

Sri Lanka’s controversial investment ties with Chinaare set to continue amid a broader push to attractforeign capital if the country’s current governmentprevails in Monday’s parliamentary election, PrimeMinister Ranil Wickramasinghe says.

斯里兰卡总理拉尼尔维克勒马辛哈(Ranil Wickremesinghe)表示,如果斯里兰卡现政府在周一的议会选举中获胜,将展开更大的努力吸引外资,斯里兰卡与中国之间备受争议的投资关系将延续下去。

The island nation’s reliance on infrastructurefunding from Beijing has caused alarm in both India and the west, where it is viewed as a signof creeping Chinese influence throughout south Asia.

这个岛国对中方基建资金的依赖,已引起印度和西方国家的警觉。在印度和西方看来,这种现象表明中国在悄悄扩大对整个南亚的影响力。

But Mr Wickramasinghe, a leader viewed as pro-western by most analysts, told the FinancialTimes that his centre-right United National party would continue to seek Chinese funds if itretained power.

但被多数分析人士视为亲西方领导人的维克勒马辛哈向英国《金融时报》表示,如果他所在的中右翼统一国民党(United National)能够继续掌权,该党将继续寻求获得中国的资金。

 

 

“We have told the Chinese, the Japanese and everyone else that all loans must be oncompetitive terms, he said. “But if there are other [new] investment projects...琠栀攀 Chineseor anyone else are free to come in, on terms set down by us.

他说:“我们已告诉中国人、日本人及其他所有人,一切贷款都须建立在竞争性条件基础上。不过,如果有其他(新的)投资项目……中国人或其他所有人都可按照我们定下的条件来投资。

Sri Lanka heads to the polls on Monday in a closely fought contest pitting Mr Wickramasingheand his coalition ally President Matripala Sirisena against Mahinda Rajapaksa, the country’sformer president and architect of its closer ties with China. The results are expected onTuesday.

周一,斯里兰卡将举行选举。这是一场势均力敌的较量,其中一方是维克勒马辛哈及其联合政府的盟友、斯里兰卡总统迈特里帕拉缠里塞纳(Maithripala Sirisena),另一方是斯里兰卡前总统马欣达拉贾帕克萨(MahindaRajapaksa)。拉贾帕克萨也是斯中更密切关系的构建者。大选的结果预计将于周二公布。

A number of large Chinese-backed projects remain either half-finished or on hold, after a spateof reviews and anti-corruption investigations following Mr Rajapaksa’s defeat in presidentialelections in January.

目前,斯里兰卡多个由中国投资的大型项目依然处于半完工或停工状态。今年1月拉贾帕克萨在总统选举中失败后,这些项目曾遭遇一系列审核和反腐调查。

In particular, work on the $1.4bn Colombo Port City property development — a Dubai-styleisland being built on reclaimed land off the coast of the capital — has been suspended sinceMarch.

特别值得一提的是,自3月以来,价值14亿美元的科伦坡港口城(Colombo Port City)地产开发项目一直处于停工状态。该项目位于斯里兰卡首都科伦坡海岸附近,是一个迪拜风格的填海造出的岛屿。

Mr Wickramasinghe said the project was now “dependent on an environmental review but healso noted that he had backed a similar scheme during his previous term as prime ministerbetween 2001 and 2004.

维克勒马辛哈表示,该项目的命运现在“取决于环评结果。但他也指出,他上次于2001年至2004年担任总理时,曾支持过类似的计划。

Two other senior government officials told the FT they did not expect the Port City to bescrapped. “It will go ahead in some form, one said.

另两位政府高官告诉英国《金融时报》,他们预计港口城项目不会被取消。其中一名官员表示:“该项目会以某种方式向前推进。

Big new Chinese-backed projects could include a large dockyard in the island’s south as well aselements of Mr Wickramasinghe’s plan to turn Colombo and its surrounding region into a“megapolis.

中国投资的新大型项目,可能包括斯里兰卡南部的一个大型船厂,以及维克勒马辛哈“大都市计划涵盖的项目。维克勒马辛哈打算将科伦坡及其周边地区打造成一个“大都市。

The megapolis scheme includes a raft of urban transit, property and logistics projects, allareas in which Chinese state companies have successfully won contracts in other Asiancountries.

“大都市计划包含一系列城市交通、房地产及物流项目——在所有这些领域,中国国企都曾在亚洲其他国家成功赢得过合同。

If, as many analysts expect, he returns as prime minister following Monday's poll, MrWickramasinghe said he would strike trade agreements with China and India as part ofattempts to persuade global companies to establish new export-focused facilities in thecountry to target Asia’s two largest emerging markets.

维克勒马辛哈表示,如果他(像许多分析师预期的那样)在周一大选后得以连任总理,他将与中国和印度达成贸易协议。维克勒马辛哈试图借助这些贸易协议来说服全球企业在斯里兰卡建立新的出口导向型工厂,面向亚洲这两个最大的新兴市场出口。
