(中央社威靈頓1日綜合外電報導)紐西蘭與美國政府今天表示,兩國將共同出資,大規模升級庫克群島上一座二戰時期的環礁港口。這是西方國家強化太平洋地區關係的最新行動,以抗衡中國影響力擴張。

路透社報導,兩國在太平洋島國論壇(Pacific Islands Forum)於帛琉舉行期間發布這項聯合聲明,美方預計出資5000萬美元(約新台幣15.8億元),紐西蘭出資1750萬紐元(約新台幣3.16億元),這項工程將由威靈頓當局與庫克群島(Cook Islands)、美國協調執行。

聲明指出,這項工程將升級位於彭林環礁(Penrhyn)的港口設施,提升船隻停靠安全性、改善各項服務的可及性,並強化庫克群島北部地區的交通與經濟連結。

美國副國務卿藍道(Christopher Landau)表示,彭林環礁的港口與飛機跑道最初由美方在80多年前興建,這座機場二戰期間曾用於運送人員與物資,並支援過境的軍機。

藍道在聲明中表示:「透過這類具變革性的基礎建設倡議,我們正讓美國與我們的夥伴變得更安全、更強大、更繁榮。」他並指出,這項工程是延續今年稍早與庫克群島簽署的關鍵礦產架構協議。

庫克群島總理布朗(Mark Brown)表示,這項港口工程體現經濟韌性,未來有助於推動海底礦產開採、強化漁業作業能力等新興產業發展。
