德国总理朔尔茨访加行程圆满结束 Prime Minister concludes a successful visit by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz
贾斯廷·特鲁多(Justin Trudeau)总理欢迎德国总理奥拉夫·朔尔茨(Olaf Scholz)于8月21日至23日访问加拿大,进一步加强两国密切的伙伴关系。此次行程途经魁北克的蒙特利尔、安大略多伦多、以及纽芬兰和拉布拉多的斯蒂芬维尔,两位领导人携手努力在共同的优先事项上取得了进展,包括支持乌克兰、应对俄罗斯非法入侵的更广泛全球影响如食品安全等、加强在能源和气候行动方面的双边合作和领导作用、促进惠及所有人的贸易和投资、并推动向清洁经济的转型过渡等。
8月22日,在蒙特利尔,两位总理会见了加拿大和德国的工商界代表,鼓励投资和合作机会,包括在关键矿产和汽车制造等行业。他们参观了Mila研究所,这是由泛加拿大人工智能战略资助的三个国家人工智能研究所之一,双方重申了加拿大和德国对负责任的人工智能发展的共同承诺,包括通过蒙特利尔国际人工智能专家中心(CEIMIA)可能的合作,利用他们的专业知识去支持正在进行的全球人工智能伙伴关系(GPAI)项目。
两位领导人随后前往多伦多,8月23日,他们在加拿大-德国商业论坛上向加拿大和德国商界领袖发表讲话,促进两国加强合作,应对当前因俄罗斯无理入侵乌克兰而加剧的全球挑战,特别是能源和食品保障问题。
两国都致力于促进电动汽车的普及并推进向清洁经济的转型。在多伦多,加拿大与德国汽车制造商大众汽车集团和梅赛德斯-奔驰集团签署了两份新的备忘录,要推动加拿大在汽车制造、电池和关键矿产领域的合作。双方还与工商界和各业界相关方面进行了讨论,目的是落实其他加强贸易、科学和创新方面的关键协议,并在大西洋两岸创造良好的就业机会。
为了进一步促进创新,两国总理发起了一项针对创新型中小企业(SME)的提案招标,以支持在包括清洁交通、电动电池和量子技术等领域合作研发项目。该提案招标将由加拿大国家研究院(National Research Council of Canada)牵头,并与德国中小企业中央创新计划(Central Innovation Programme for SMEs)合作。
两位领导人还对加拿大表明接受德国邀请愿意成为2025年汉诺威工业博览会(Hannover Messe)合作主办国的决定表示欢迎。汉诺威工业博览会是全球最大的工业发展和技术贸易博览会之一。这将是加拿大展示本国在工业和技术创新方面的领导地位、并深化与德国和国际伙伴的合作的一个机会。
在德国总理为期三天的访问中,两位领导人重申,面对俄罗斯非法和无理的侵略,加拿大和德国坚定不移地支持乌克兰的主权、领土完整和独立。在多伦多期间,他们共同参加了国际克里米亚平台国家元首和政府首脑在线峰会,这是一个由乌克兰牵头的倡议,旨在加强对俄罗斯非法吞并克里米亚的国际抗争和回应,这一吞并事件在今年由于俄罗斯无端入侵乌克兰而影响更加深刻。
为了支持乌克兰政府和人民,特鲁多总理宣布:
- 向两个项目拨款385万元,增加对乌克兰安全部门机构的支持。这包括对乌克兰国家警察和国家应急服务以及乌克兰内务部和国防部的定向支持。
- 对62名个人和一个国防行业实体实施新的制裁,这些人参与了普京在乌克兰选择的战争。
- 建立一个专门的团队,以更好地监控和发现俄罗斯国家支持的虚假信息,并与德国等伙伴进行更深入的国际合作,包括通过七国集团快速应对机制(RRM)。
加拿大还欢迎德国在七国集团RRM下领导一个工作组,该工作组专注于在社区、市和地区层面应对地方外国干预的威胁。
在世界继续努力应对俄罗斯入侵乌克兰的深远冲击之时,特鲁多总理公布了加拿大向联合国粮食及农业组织(FAO)粮食储存支持战略贡献5200万元的细节,该战略于去年6月在德国举行的七国集团首脑会议上首次宣布。这笔资金将有助于解决持续的粮食储存短缺问题,并通过扩大储存能力加强粮食保障。此举将有助于保护成千上万的农民和间接受益者的生计,包括境内流离失所者的就业。
正当俄罗斯继续将能源当做武器之际,加拿大也在与包括德国在内的欧洲和全球伙伴合作,加强能源保障并加速向清洁能源转型。为了鼓励在这一领域取得进一步进展,德国总理于8月23日将斯蒂芬维尔作为访问加拿大的最后一站,两国在那里签署了一份关于建立加拿大-德国氢能联盟的联合意向声明。拟议的联盟将有助于建立一个跨大西洋的加拿大-德国供应走廊,目标是在2025年前开始出口。特鲁多总理重申加拿大致力于支持德国的能源需求,并期待着继续与德国携手合作,采取雄心勃勃的气候行动。
在斯蒂芬维尔,特鲁多总理和朔尔茨总理还会见了纽芬兰省和拉布拉多省的安德鲁·富里(Andrew Furey)省长、新不伦瑞克省的布莱恩·希格斯(Blaine Higgs)省长、新斯科舍省的蒂姆·休斯顿(Tim Houston)省长和爱德华王子岛省的丹尼斯·金(Dennis King)省长。他们一起讨论了能源出口和加拿大大西洋地区可再生能源的发展,以及该地区向净零排放的转型过渡。省长们还签署了一份声明,支持拟议的加拿大-德国氢能联盟。

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, welcomed the Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz,
to Canada from August 21 to 23 to further strengthen our close partnership. With stops
in Montréal, Quebec, Toronto, Ontario, and Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador,
the two leaders worked together to make progress on shared priorities, including
support for Ukraine, addressing the broader global impacts of Russia’s illegal invasion
such as food security, strengthening bilateral cooperation on energy and leadership on
climate action, promoting trade and investment that benefits everyone, and advancing
the transition to the clean economy.
On August 22, in Montréal, the Prime Minister and the Chancellor met with Canadian
and German business representatives to encourage investment and partnership
opportunities, including in the critical minerals and automotive sectors. They visited
Mila, one of the three National Artificial Intelligence Institutes funded by the Pan
Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy and reaffirmed Canada and Germany’s shared
commitment to the responsible development of artificial intelligence, including the
possibility of working through the International Centre of Expertise in Montréal on
Artificial Intelligence (CEIMIA) to leverage their expertise to support ongoing Global
Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) projects.
The two leaders then headed to Toronto where, on August 23, they addressed
Canadian and German business leaders at the Canada-Germany Business Forum, to
promote greater cooperation between their two countries in response to current global
challenges exacerbated by Russia’s unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine, particularly
energy and food security.
Both countries are committed to promoting electric vehicle uptake and advancing the
transition to the clean economy. In Toronto, Canada signed two new Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with German automotive manufacturers Volkswagen AG and
Mercedes-Benz AG to advance collaboration in Canada across the automotive, battery,
and critical minerals sectors. Discussions with businesses and various stakeholders
also took place with the goal to secure other key agreements to strengthen trade,
science, and innovation and to create good jobs on both sides of the Atlantic.
To further promote innovation, the Prime Minister and the Chancellor launched a call for
proposals for innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to support
collaborative research and development projects, including in the areas of clean
transportation, electric batteries, and quantum technologies. The call for proposals will
be led by the National Research Council of Canada in collaboration with Germany’s
Central Innovation Programme for SMEs.
The two leaders also welcomed the announcement that Canada has accepted
Germany’s invitation to become a partner host country at Hannover Messe, one of the
world’s largest industrial development and technology trade fairs, in 2025. This will be
an opportunity for Canada to showcase its leadership in industrial and technology
innovation and deepen collaboration with German and international partners.
During the Chancellor’s three-day visit, the two leaders reiterated Canada and
Germany’s unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and
independence in the face of Russia’s illegal and unjustifiable aggression. While in
Toronto, they jointly took part in the virtual Summit for Heads of State and Government
of the International Crimea Platform, a Ukraine-led initiative aimed at enhancing
international advocacy and responses to Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea, which
has deeper implications this year due to Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
In support of the Ukrainian government and people, Prime Minister Trudeau announced:
· The allocation of $3.85 million to two projects to provide increased support to
Ukraine’s security sector institutions. This includes targeted support for the
National Police of Ukraine and State Emergency Services as well as Ukraine’s
Ministry of Internal Affairs and Ministry of Defence.
· New sanctions against 62 individuals and a defence sector entity complicit in
Putin’s war of choice in Ukraine.
· The creation of a dedicated team to better monitor and detect Russian state
sponsored disinformation and enable deeper international collaboration with
partners like Germany, including through the G7 Rapid Response Mechanism
(RRM).
Canada also welcomed Germany leading, under the G7 RRM, a working group focused
on the threat of subnational foreign interference at the community, municipal, and
regional levels.
As the world continues to grapple with the far-reaching impacts of Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine, Prime Minister Trudeau provided details on Canada’s $52 million contribution
to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Grain Storage Support
Strategy, which was first announced at the G7 Summit in Germany last June. This
funding will help address ongoing grain storage shortages and strengthen food security by expanding storage capacity. It will help protect the livelihoods of thousands of
farmers and indirect beneficiaries, including employment for internally displaced
persons.
As Russia continues to weaponize energy, Canada is also working with its European
and global partners, including Germany, to strengthen energy security and accelerate
the clean energy transition. To encourage further progress in this area, the Chancellor
concluded his visit to Canada on August 23 in Stephenville, where the countries signed
a joint declaration of intent to establish a Canada-Germany Hydrogen Alliance. The
proposed Alliance would help establish a transatlantic Canada-Germany supply
corridor, with the target of beginning export by 2025. Prime Minister Trudeau reiterated
Canada’s commitment to support Germany’s energy needs and looked forward to
continuing to work hand-in-hand with Germany to take ambitious climate action.
In Stephenville, Prime Minister Trudeau and Chancellor Scholz also met with Premier
Andrew Furey of Newfoundland and Labrador, Premier Blaine Higgs of New Brunswick,
Premier Tim Houston of Nova Scotia, and Premier Dennis King of Prince Edward
Island. Together, they discussed energy exports and the development of renewable
energy in Atlantic Canada, and the region’s transition toward net-zero. The Premiers
also signed a statement in support of the proposed Canada-Germany Hydrogen
Alliance.
Quote
“Canada and Germany are close, like-minded allies and friends. We are united by our
shared values, people-to-people ties, and commitment to building a clean future with
good, middle-class jobs and a strong economy that benefits everyone. Chancellor
Scholz’s first official visit to Canada was a successful one and we will continue to work
closely together in many areas, including energy security and critical minerals, to build a
better world for our children and grandchildren.”
The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
