乌克兰危机和国内政局动荡并未严重影响英国持续推进印太战略的意愿。苏纳克政府上台后在约翰逊政府奠定的基础上更进一步,在对外政策议程中明确将印太置于仅次于欧洲-大西洋区域的优先位置,宣布要将英国印太战略打造为英国对外政策的永久支柱。2022年下半年以来,英国不仅持续深化与印太行为体的政治、经贸、科技等关系并取得一系列进展,还按照计划维持其地区小规模军事存在,同时通过技术合作深化防务安全关系。此外,危机背景下,英国还有意在其印太战略基础上,以澳英美三边安全关系及英意日“全球空战计划”项目为核心,打造所谓“大西洋-太平洋伙伴关系”,强化欧亚互动。
The Ukraine crisis and domestic political turmoil have not seriously affected the UK’s willingness to push forward its Indo-Pacific strategy. After coming to power,and building on the foundations laid by the Johnson government,the Sunak government clearly made the Indo-Pacific a priority in its foreign policy agenda. It also announced that it would advance the UK’s Indo-Pacific strategy as a permanent pillar of the UK’s foreign policy. Since the second half of 2022,the UK has not only continued to deepen its political,economic,trade and technological relations with Indo-Pacific players and made a series of advances,but also maintained a small regional military presence as planned,while deepening its defence and security ties through technological cooperation. In addition,against the backdrop of the crisis,the UK also intends to construct the so-called “Atlantic-Pacific Partnership” on the basis of its Indo-Pacific strategy,with AUKUS and GCAP at its core,strengthening the interaction between the two regions.
