路透尼日利亚阿布贾11月18日 - 美国国务卿布林肯周四表示，美国参与非洲的基础设施建设与中国无关，而是希望在各国在不背上债务负担的情况下提高基础设施的标准。 布林肯在访问尼日利亚时被问及美中在非洲大陆基础设施投资方面的竞争。近年来，中国通过此类投资不断增强在非洲大陆的影响力。 “当涉及到基础设施投资问题时，再次强调，这与中国或其他任何人无关，我们希望在进行这些投资时能够做到力争上游，”布林肯在与尼日利亚外交部长Geoffrey Onyeama共同举行的记者会上说。 布林肯表示，中国在非洲的投资总体而言是好的，但不应给各国留下“无法偿还的巨额债务”，他并补充说，劳工权利、环境保护和反腐保障措施也应到位。 他补充说，七国集团(G7)发达国家将在非洲投资，作为“重建更美好世界”计划的一部分。 布林肯周四与Onyeama签署了一项21.7亿美元的发展援助计划，并表示华盛顿还将继续投资于尼日利亚的安全。 Onyeama说，尼日利亚需要来自中国的投资来解决严重的基础设施赤字问题，并说该国所承担的债务是“可持续的”。 中国是尼日利亚的主要双边贷款人之一，并为公路、铁路和天然气管道等基础设施建设提供资金。尼日利亚公共债务办公室在其网站上说，截至2020年3月，该国所欠中国债务为31.21亿美元，占该国公共债务总额的3.94%。 “我们看到与中国合作的巨大机会，”Onyeama说。“他们习惯于很多这种巨大的资本项目和基础设施项目。”(完) for-phone-onlyfor-tablet-portrait-upfor-tablet-landscape-upfor-desktop-upfor-wide-desktop-up Read More
