中國長期試圖在太平洋地區擴大影響力,今年7月臨時通知少數國家後試射洲際彈道飛彈,飛彈落在瑙埃羅及吐瓦魯附近國際水域,引發地區國家憤怒,因該地區曾遭美國、英國、法國核試影響,並已宣布為無核區。
今年太平洋島國論壇領袖峰會在帛琉舉行,儘管北京對主辦國帛琉施壓,太平洋島國仍在今天達成的聯合聲明中,譴責中國朝該地區海域試射飛彈。
法新社報導,這份太平洋島國論壇(Pacific Islands Forum)峰會公報由帛琉總統惠恕仁(Surangel Whipps)在深夜舉行的記者會上宣讀,內容要求任何洲際彈道飛彈試射都應至少提前24小時通知。

這份聲明獲得論壇18個成員中的17個同意,僅瑙埃羅(Naoero,舊稱諾魯)不同意。
中國今年7月臨時通知少數幾個國家後,即試射洲際彈道飛彈(ICBM),藉此在太平洋地區展現軍事實力。中國長期試圖在該地區擴大影響力。
飛彈落在瑙埃羅及台灣邦交國吐瓦魯附近的國際水域,立即引發太平洋國家的憤怒。這些國家對數十年前美國、英國、法國在該地區進行核試仍記憶猶新,並已宣布其海域為無核區。
峰會公報指出,領袖們「對近期的洲際彈道飛彈(ICBM)試射表達關切,該飛彈在未充分通知的情況下,飛越多個成員國上空」。
公報呼籲「所有進行洲際彈道飛彈試射的國家,應確保透明度並消除疑慮,包括依照國際慣例,至少於試射前24小時發出預告」。
北京已稱,這次試射是中方「年度軍事訓練的例行性安排」,且「事先已經向有關國家作出通報」。
中國是該地區重要的基礎建設貸款提供者。瑙埃羅兩年前與台灣斷交並與中國建交後,一直不願意批評中國。
在太平洋島國發布聯合聲明前,中國外交部發言人郭嘉昆今天在北京舉行的記者會上稱,帛琉「反覆炒作,企圖綁架其他太平洋島國論壇成員國立場,用心險惡,其圖謀不會得逞」。
惠恕仁則回應:「我認為論壇傳達的訊息很明確,那就是必須做到透明。」
美國依據與馬紹爾群島簽訂的防禦協議,在太平洋地區進行彈道飛彈測試。帛琉與澳洲領袖今天表示,美國的測試與中國這次試射「非常不同」,因為美方充分提供事前通知。
今年峰會的東道主帛琉邀請友邦台灣以援助夥伴身分參加。包括台灣、中國、美國在內,約有十多個非太平洋國家以不同身分參與論壇期間舉行的相關活動。
北京對台灣外交部長林佳龍出席開幕式表示不滿。中國太平洋島國事務特使錢波8月31日告訴記者,此事會有「後果」。
台灣則反擊表示,台灣在太平洋地區的角色,讓中國無法完全控制該地區。台灣在太平洋地區有3個邦交國。(編譯:楊昭彥)1150904
