“亚太再平衡”战略下的美新伙伴关系

The U.S.-Singapore Partnership in Asia-Pacific Rebalancing Strategy

美国和新加坡的合作关系既是两国关系历史发展的产物,也是两国根据地区形势演进的双向政策选择,体现了两国的共同政策和利益倾向,对地区形势和两国关系的发展都产生了相当大影响。美国奥巴马政府推出"亚太再平衡"战略,与新加坡对外战略中的大国平衡战略高度契合,双方在涉及地区安全和经济领域多边合作机制的战略协调日益增强,提升了两国在地区事务中的相关性、存在度和话语权。新加坡高度关注美国新政府的亚太战略转型,采取了相当积极的政策措施,期待延续双方长期以来的战略合作关系,促进新加坡的战略利益和国家安全。在近年来的南海问题中,美新战略合作也得到了相当明显的体现,对地区形势的稳定和中国与东盟及其成员国的关系造成了一定的影响。

The cooperation between the United States and Singapore is not only a historical product of their bilateral relations,but also a dual policy option of the two countries in the changing regional situation. Such relationship reflects the common policies and interests of the two countries and has had considerable impact on the development of the regional situation and their bilateral relations. The Obama administration launched the Asia-Pacific Rebalancing Strategy.This Strategy was highly consistent with the power-balancing approach in Singapore's foreign strategy,and enhanced the strategic coordination between the two countries in regional security and multilateral economic cooperative mechanisms. Thus,the two countries have elevated their relevance,presence,and discourse in regional affairs. Singapore is highly concerned about the strategic transformation of the new U.S. administration,and has adopted some proactive policy measures,looking forward to extending the long-term bilateral strategic cooperation and promoting Singapore's strategic interests and national security. The strategic cooperation between the United States and Singapore has also been evident in the South China Sea issue in the recent years,which has had a certain influence on the stability of the region and the relations between China and ASEAN as well as its member states.
