中新网10月31日电 据英国《卫报》当地时间10月30日报道,英国首相伯纳姆在发表于《卫报》的一篇文章中,就英国为在跨大西洋奴隶贸易中的角色正式道歉一事。

据报道,伯纳姆作出了尺度超出以往任何一位首相的表态;预计此事将成为即将举行的英联邦领导人会议的核心话题。

报道称,在即将于下周启程飞往加勒比地区之际,伯纳姆表示,自己对于要求他代表国家作出正式道歉的呼声持开放态度,并提出愿与受影响各方(包括个别国家及国内外的维权组织)展开正式谈判。

伯纳姆写道:“我所信任的英国是自信、体面和勇敢的。我们曾率先在世界上废除奴隶制——今天我们可以再次表现出领导力。”

报道补充道,尽管任何正式声明都将取决于谈判的结果,但伯纳姆给出了相当于个人道歉的表态,声称他希望对数以百万计的人曾遭受苦难表达“悲痛和遗憾”,并承认奴隶贸易对世界的影响持续至今。

报道还称,然而,他拒绝了加勒比国家和维权活动人士要求英国就其在奴隶贸易中的角色支付经济赔偿的要求,从而维持了历届政府认为今天的英国人民不应为过往旧事承担责任的立场。

伯纳姆表示,他将启动一项新的面向最贫困英联邦国家的债务重组行动,帮助这些国家以更长的期限和更优惠的利率偿还债务。该计划将由英国前首相戈登·布朗牵头,预计最终将吸收国际货币基金组织等机构参与。
