讲话摘译副国务卿约翰·J·沙利文安哥拉，罗安达
2019年3月20日
正如菲特大使所说，我今天想要讲的是关于美国的非洲战略如何能够解锁我们在今天的午宴期间将会更详细探讨的许多经济机会。我期待去强调我们可以一起工作的许多方式，从而在美国、在安哥拉以及在整个非洲大陆推动共同繁荣与安全。
正如你们所知，我们的行政当局最近宣布了新的非洲战略，以重振我们与非洲伙伴的交往，并为所有非洲人推动一个繁荣和安全的未来。
在这一战略的核心，我们将努力工作来扩大经济机会；支持可持续和包容性的发展；推进和平与安全，包括打击恐怖主义以及其他极端组织；并促进稳定、人权、良好治理以及自力更生。
非洲战略强调我们对于非洲以及对于让非洲国家摆脱外来援助、走向自力更生和可持续的财务独立的长久承诺。
认识到这一大陆的巨大经济潜力，本届行政当局已经将扩大在非洲的贸易和投资作为美国的一项关键优先事项。
到2025年，我们预期非洲预计3亿的家庭中接近三分之二将拥有自主支配收入，这使得这里成为在全球竞争的美国企业的一个关键市场。
在2017年，美国与撒哈拉以南非洲国家的双向贸易为390亿美元。我们这届行政当局相信我们能够做得比这更好许多。
……
美国已经是而且仍然是非洲最大的私营外国投资者。从2001年到2017年，我们在非洲的年度投资从90亿美元增长到500亿美元，在整个大陆创造了新的商业机会。但是即便有了这样的增长，我们才刚刚触及美国能够投资于非洲的可获得资金池的表面。
……
美国重视我们与我们的非洲伙伴，尤其是与安哥拉这样的战略伙伴长久且广泛的合作，这一点无论我怎样强调都不为过。
……
在非洲大陆，我们的外交政策建立在这一前提上：非洲人必须对解决非洲问题负责。我们非洲战略的第二个要素强调非洲对地区和平与安全威胁作出应对的所有权。
安全制度必须是有效的、负责任的，并有能力让非洲各国政府应对地区和平与安全威胁。这就是为什么我们已经向20多个非洲国家提供了维和人员培训和设备。
……
繁荣、安全和稳定需要强有力的、负责任的民主制度。这就是为什么我们非洲战略的第三个核心要素强调自力更生、良好的治理和对人权的尊重。最终，为了所有人的利益，我们希望终结对外来援助的需求。我相信我们的共同目标是在经济增长方面取得实质性的、可衡量的进展；推进良好的政府；为美国和所有其他国际投资者创造一个公平的赛场；当然还有强有力的法治。
……
美国希望鼓励非洲领导人选择可持续的外来投资来帮助他们的国家实现自力更生，而不像中国提出的那些强加不必要成本的投资。
我们敦促各国思考他们与中国的关系如何与他们对可持续发展的抱负保持一致。在我们的非洲战略之下，美国将在相互尊重的基础上扩大经济联系，我们将帮助非洲国家掌控其经济命运。
我们鼓励安哥拉和其他非洲国家选择高质量、透明、包容和可持续的外来投资，而不是将债务提高到不可持续水平的掠夺性投资和发展举措。这些贷款会强加给接收方损害其主权的不必要负担。
正如我们鼓励各国思考与中国建立伙伴关系的影响以及它如何与你自身的可持续性及繁荣目标保持一致，我们对俄罗斯采取同样的做法。俄罗斯经常利用强制的、腐败的和隐蔽的手段来试图影响主权国家，包括他们的安全和经济伙伴关系。

Excerpts of RemarksJohn J. SullivanDeputy Secretary of StateLuanda, Angola
March 20, 2019
As Ambassador Fite said, I would like to speak today about how the U.S. Africa strategy can unlock the many economic opportunities we’ll discuss at greater length throughout today’s luncheon. I look forward to highlighting the many ways we can work together to promote shared prosperity and security in the United States, in Angola, and across the African continent.
As you know, our administration recently announced the new Africa Strategy to revitalize our engagement with African partners and promote a prosperous and secure future for all Africans.
At the core of this strategy, we’ll work hard to expand economic opportunities; support sustainable and inclusive development; advance peace and security, including combating terrorism and other extremist groups; and promote stability, human rights, good governance, and self-reliance.
The Africa Strategy underscores our long-standing commitment to Africa and to moving African countries away from foreign assistance, toward self-reliance and sustainable financial independence.
Recognizing the enormous economic potential on the continent, the Administration has made the expansion of trade and investment in Africa a key priority for the United States.
By 2025, we expect that nearly two-thirds of the estimated 300 million African households will have discretionary income, which makes this a key market for globally competitive American companies.
In 2017, the United States had $39 billion in two-way trade with sub-Saharan African countries. Our Administration believes we can do a lot better than that.
…
Already, the United States remains the largest private foreign investor in Africa. From 2001 to 2017, our yearly investment in Africa increased from $9 billion to $50 billion, creating new businesses opportunities across the continent. But even with that increase, we are merely scratching the surface of the available pool of capital the United States can invest in Africa.
…
I can’t stress enough that the United States values our long-standing and wide-ranging cooperation with our African partners, especially with a strategic partner like Angola
…
On the African continent, our foreign policy is based on the premise that Africans must be responsible for solving African problems. The second element of our Africa strategy emphasizes African ownership of responses to regional threats to peace and security.
Security institutions must be effective, accountable, and capable for African governments to respond to regional threats to peace and security. That’s why we have provided peacekeeper training and equipment to over 20 African countries.?
…
Prosperity, security, and stability require strong and accountable democratic institutions. That is why the third core element of our Africa strategy emphasizes self-reliance, good governance, and respect for human rights. Ultimately, we want to end the need for foreign assistance, for the benefit of all. I believe we share the goal of achieving substantial, measurable progress in economic growth; advancement of good government; creation of a level playing field for U.S. and all other international investors; and of course strong rule of law.
….
The United States wants to encourage African leaders to choose sustainable foreign investments that help their countries become self-reliant, unlike those investments offered by China that impose undue costs.
We ask countries to consider how their relationship with China aligns with their ambitions for sustainable development. Under our Africa Strategy, the United States will expand economic ties on the basis of mutual respect, and we will help African nations take control of their economic destinies.
We encourage Angola and other African countries to choose high-quality, transparent, inclusive, and sustainable foreign investment, not predatory investment and development initiatives that raise debt to unsustainable levels. These loans can impose unnecessary burdens on recipients that jeopardize their sovereignty.
Just as we encourage countries to consider the implications of partnership with China and how it aligns with your own sustainability and prosperity goals, we do the same with regard to Russia. Russia often utilizes coercive, corrupt, and covert means to attempt to influence sovereign states, including their security and economic partnerships.
