【先声夺人 | 澳前外长喊话阿尔巴尼斯政府缓和中美关系 “该是中等强国发挥作用的时候了”】近日，包括两位前外交部长在内的50位澳大利亚知名人士发表联合声明，呼吁澳大利亚缓和中国与美国之间的紧张关系。CGTN主持人许钦铎就此事件专访了澳前外交部长鲍勃·卡尔，他表示现在是澳大利亚这样的中等强国发挥积极作用的时候了，在中美之间建起稳固的“防护栏”，种下“缓和”的种子，各方都能收获到果实。Recently, 50 high-profile Australians led by former Australian foreign ministers Bob Carr and Gareth Evans called on the Albanese government to take action to defuse tensions between the United States and China. Carr told CGTN's Xu Qinduo that, "it is possible for countries that are in competition, ideological, strategic competition, economic competition, to set 'guard rails' and reinforce guard rails to avoid a descent into war." Just like during the détente between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the past, Carr said, now it's time for middle powers like Australia to play their role. http://t.cn/A6YycDxj
