浅议冷战后印度与沙特关系的变化

The Change of India-Saudi Relationship after the Cold War

冷战期间,受两极格局和巴基斯坦因素的制约,印度与沙特的关系十分冷淡。冷战结束后,两国关系开始逐渐改善,并在9·11后获得了较快发展。这主要因为双方都对外交政策进行了调整,均希望加强经贸往来、提升能源合作、打击恐怖主义、促进人力资源合作。此外,印度还希望通过加强与沙特的关系平衡巴基斯坦在伊斯兰世界的影响和对印度的负面宣传。由于影响两国关系的主要障碍已不存在或逐渐淡化,未来的两国关系还会继续升温。

During the cold war,the relationship between India and Saudi Arabia was very icy due to the bipolar structure and Pakistan. After the cold war,the relations between the two countries began to improve,and speed up after 9·11. This is mainly because both sides have adjusted their foreign policy,and they hope to strengthen economic and trade exchanges,enhance energy cooperation,fight against terrorism and promote human resources cooperation. In addition,India also hopes to strengthen the relationship with Saudi Arabia to balance the impact of Pakistan in the Islamic world and negative publicity for India. The main obstacles affecting the relationship between the two countries have disappeared or gradually fade; the future of bilateral relations will continue to heat up.
