被指“印太聯盟核心”的AUKUS未來會擴充嗎？新西蘭官方似改變心意，對加入美英澳三邊安全夥伴關係持開放態度

 

（聯合早報訊）新西蘭駐澳大利亞最高專員安妮特·金接受《悉尼先驅晨報》和《世紀報》訪問時說，新西蘭對於加入澳洲與英國和美國建立的三邊安全夥伴關係（AUKUS）持開放態度。

 

安妮特·金（Dame Annette King）表明，新西蘭永遠不會參與核動力潛艇的開發，但新西蘭歡迎美國和英國增加在印太地區的參與。

 

安妮特·金說，澳美英三方安全關係絕不會改變新西蘭和這三個國家的安全情報關係，並指新西蘭希望與這三個國家合作開發包括人工智能量子計算在內的新興網絡技術。

 

澳洲、英國、美國9月15日聯合宣布成立三邊安全夥伴關係時，新西蘭總理阿德恩確認，澳洲在該協議下打造的核動力潛艇將不被允許進入新西蘭的領海。

In AUKUS news, the Australian letter to France just prior to the deal is now public and seems to back up Canberra’s version of events *****ZuRrddE89q pic.twitter.com/ZKWSQvf6rr

One gets the feeling that NZ’s defence strategy is “they’ll have to go through Australia first”

A couple who set up a business in New Zealand have been described as a threat to national security because of their link to Chinese intelligence services. They denied they were spies, but were rejected for residence and lost an immigration appeal.*****PMXWFJMbLw
