若北韩发动攻击 美国政策是“不协防加拿大”
3.完整新闻内文:
A top general has told Canadian MPs they cannot count on US support if North
Korea launches a nuclear attack on their country.
Lt Gen Pierre St-Amand told the national defence committee in Ottawa there is
no policy that requires the US to aid Canada in any nuclear attack.
But on the upside, the committee also heard North Korea views Canada as a
"peaceful" and "friendly" country.
一名高阶将领告诉加拿大议员,如果北韩对加拿大展开核武攻击,美国不能协防加拿大。
Pierre St-Amand中将对加拿大的国防委员会表示,美国没有任何在核攻击中协防加拿大
的政策。但好消息是,加拿大国防委员会听说北韩认为加拿大是“和平”且“友好”的国
家。
Pyongyang's missile launch over Japan on Friday has put the region on edge.
Gen St-Amand told MPs: "The extent of the US policy is not to defend Canada.
"That's the fact I can bring to the table."
Canada has long avoided joining the US ballistic missile defence programme,
under the assumption that the US would shoot down a nuclear missile heading
for its northern neighbour anyway.
But Lt Gen St-Amand's testimony suggested otherwise.
St-Amand将军告诉国会议员:“协防加拿大是美国的政策所不及,这是我要明讲的。”加
拿大长久以来都避免加入美国的飞弹防御网,因为他们认为无论如何,飞向加拿大的飞弹
都会被美国打下来。但St-Amand的证词与加国的推测相反。
However, Mark Gwozdecky, assistant deputy minister for international
security, said all evidence suggested Canada was not in North Korea's
crosshairs.
"There's been no direct threat to Canada," Mr Gwozdecky told the meeting.
"In fact, on the contrary, in recent contacts with the North Korean
government, including in August when our national security adviser was in
Pyongyang, the indications were they perceived Canada as a peaceful and
indeed a friendly country."
Mr Gwozdecky stressed that even if Canada was not a target, North Korea still
posed a serious threat to global peace and security.
不过,加拿大外交部国际安全的副部长Mark Gwozdecky说,一切的证据都指向加拿大不是
北韩的目标。“北韩对加拿大没有直接的威胁”,Gwozdecky在会中表示。“事实上,包
括八月我们的国家安全顾问在平壤的时候,最近与北韩政府的联系,都有迹象显示北韩认
为加拿大是一个和平且友好的国家。” Gwozdecky强调,虽然加拿大不是目标,北韩仍然
对国际和平及安全造成严重威胁。
