President Obama will meet on the sidelines of the G-20 summit with France's President Francois Hollande and China's President Xi Jinping, according to a senior administration official. The official, who asked not to be identified because the president's schedule for the summit has yet to be released, told USA TODAY there are currently no plans for Obama to have a formal bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but expects the two presidents could have an opportunity to speak on the margins of the various meetings during the summit. Obama had planned to visit Putin in Moscow for meetings ahead of the G-20, which will be held on Thursday and Friday in St. Petersburg, Russia, but canceled the Moscow trip last month, following a string of disputes, including Russia's decision to grant asylum to former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden and its blocking of action by the United Nations Security Council against Syria. One objective for Obama's time at the G-20, which will focus on global economic issues, is to round up support from the international community for military action against Syria. Obama announced on Saturday that he was seeking congressional authorization for the strike, but he would also like to gain at least moral support—if not military backing—from other countries. Last week, Hollande announced that France would back military action in Syria. On Monday, China urged Obama not to take unilateral action against Syria in response to last month's chemical weapons attack in the suburbs of Damascus, which killed more than 1,400. Obama and Xi met in June for two days of wide-ranging talks in Palm Springs, Calif., which was billed as a relationship building moment for the two presidents. |
二十國集團(G20)領導人第八次峰會將于9月5日至6日在俄羅斯名城圣彼得堡舉行。據(jù)《今日美國》9月3日報道,美國高級官員稱,美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬將在G20峰會期間會見法國總統(tǒng)弗朗西斯?奧朗德和中國國家主席習近平。 該官員還表示,奧巴馬目前尚無計劃與俄羅斯總統(tǒng)弗拉基米爾?普京舉行正式的雙邊會談,不過預計兩國領導人在峰會間隙有機會交談。 奧巴馬原定在G20峰會前在莫斯科與普京會面,但奧巴馬上月取消了該行程。此前,俄羅斯為前美國國家安全局泄密者愛德華?斯諾登提供避難。最近在敘利亞議題上,俄羅斯也強烈反對美國對敘利亞采取軍事行動。 此次G20峰會將關注全球經濟危機議題。但奧巴馬的G20峰會還有一個目標,即尋求國際社會對其軍事打擊敘利亞更廣泛的支持。雖然奧巴馬8月31日已尋求國會授權攻打敘利亞,但他還將爭取其他國家至少在道義上支持美國。 上周,奧朗德宣布法國支持對敘利亞采取軍事行動,而英國議會則否決了出兵敘利亞的議案,英首相卡梅倫表示英國將不參與美國的軍事行動。 今年6月,奧巴馬和習近平在加利福利亞莊園舉行了為期兩天的會晤,就廣泛的議題進行了會談,被視為建設中美新型大國關系的里程碑事件。中國已于9月2日呼吁奧巴馬不要采取單邊軍事行動應對敘利亞化武事件。 相關閱讀 (譯者 聞竹 編輯 王輝) |
