斯里兰卡西里塞纳政府的平衡外交:特点、成效与挑战

The Sirisena Administration’s Diplomacy Balance of Powers:Features,Effects and Challenges

斯里兰卡长期奉行和平、中立和不结盟的外交原则,在各大国间寻求平衡以实现其国家利益。西里塞纳政府2015年执政以来积极在各大国间搞平衡外交,试图平衡中印两国在斯里兰卡的影响,并积极加强与日本、美国等西方大国的关系,力图在复杂的大国博弈中谋求最大利益。斯里兰卡在大国间实施平衡外交主要体现在经贸、基础设施建设、安全合作以及多边机制等领域。这种平衡外交一方面面临国内经济危机、种族冲突和政治斗争的压力,另一方面又面临外部大国如强邻印度的制约和大国博弈的风险与挑战,其实施能力虽受质疑,但仍有较大的操作空间和现实影响,值得我们进一步关注。

Sri Lanka has long adhered to the principles of peace, neutrality and non-alignment and seeks a balance among the major powers to achieve its national interests.Since taking office in 2015, Sirisena government has actively engaged in balanced diplomacy among major countries, tried to balance the relationship with China and India, actively strengthened the relationship with Japan, the United States and other western powers, which tried to seek the best interests in the context of complex great power game.It is mainly reflected in the areas of economy and trade, infrastructure, security cooperation and multilateral mechanisms.However, this “balanced diplomacy” faces the pressure of the domestic economic crisis, ethnic conflicts and partisan struggles.On the other hand, it also faces the restriction of external powers, such as strong neighbor India, and the risks and challenges of great power game.Although the ability and possibility of implementation is questionable, and it still has a large operational space and realistic feasibility, which is worthy of vigilance.
