丘比特的圈套

在普京举行总统就职典礼之际，金正恩给其送去了亲笔信，我外交部也对普京表示祝贺，而中方的贺礼则相当实在。

近日，普京在克里姆林宫举行了就职典礼，由于俄乌冲突还在继续，这次以美国为首的绝大多数西方国家都没有派出任何代表出席普京的就职典礼，仅有法国和5个欧盟国家派出了代表。    India’s “vision” is to connect Chabahar's Shahid Beheshti terminal in Iran to the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) and reach Central Asian countries through the connectivity initiative, the South Asian nation’s ports, Shipping and Waterways Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said on Sunday.,“We urge all the representatives and stakeholders to come forward with suggestions to reduce the transportation time and cost further to make a cheaper, shorter, faster and more reliable route from India to Iran and Central Asia,” Sonwal said in his introductory remarks at the "Chabahar Day" conference in Mumbai.,The "Chabahar Day" event was attended by the ambassadors of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, as well as other high-level officials from these countries.,Sonowal's comments linking the fate of Chabahar to that of the INSTC came days after the first batch of cargo from Russia's Chekhov reached India's Mumbai port, as per media reports. The cargo first traveled on a train from Russia through Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan before it reached Iran, following the INSTC route. The cargo was then taken on a ship from Iran's Bandar Abbas port to Mumbai port.,India, on its part, has invested millions of dollars in the development of the Shahid Beheshti terminal at Chabahar, with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi earmarking $500 million for the port’s development during a visit to Tehran in 2016. The Indian government is also contemplating participation in developing the railway line between Chabahar and Zahedan, which is located at the Afghanistan border.,A port of opportunities. Speaking at the Chabahar Day program in Mumbai. https://t.co/KJj5XFu9zv— Sarbananda Sonowal (@sarbanandsonwal) July 31, 2022,Sonowal remarked at the conference that Chabahar could play a “vital role” in boosting trade in the region.,According to the Indian release, foreign dignitaries present at the conference agreed on the “potential” of Chabahar to “boost development” in the landlocked Central Asian region.,The remarks by the shipping minister on the significance of Chabahar came a couple of days after Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar endorsed full membership for Iran in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) at the upcoming Leader’s Summit in Samarkand on September 15-16.,“The SCO members will have the opportunity to use the facilities of the Chabahar port in Iran,” Jaishankar said while addressing the SCO’s Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) meeting in Tashkent on Friday.,India has been backing operationalizing Chabahar port since the resumption of negotiations between the P5+1 (China France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and Iran for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), or the Iran nuclear deal, after President Joe Biden came to power in the US in 2020.,The previous Trump administration unilaterally pulled the US out of the JCPOA in 2018, creating uncertainty around the feasibility of Indian investments in Chabahar. While India’s operations in Chabahar were exempted from Donald Trump’s sanctions against Iran, Indian companies were held back by the fear of “secondary sanctions.”,During a visit to Turkmenistan in April, India’s then-President Ram Nath Kovind said New Delhi had taken steps to “operationalize” Chabahar port.。

显然，对于普京取得连任一事西方国家是不愿意看到的。不过，这次朝鲜却用行动力挺普京。据悉，在普京就职之际，朝鲜最高领导人金正恩还给普京送上了一封亲笔信。一国元首就任，按照一般的外交惯例，他国都只会以口头形式送上祝贺，以书面形式祝贺的还是相当罕见的。

这也足以凸显，朝鲜对俄罗斯的重视。由于这封信的内容不予公开，也不排除金正恩有一些私密话想要通过这种方式传达给普京。要知道，近两年，朝俄两国高层的来往是非常密切的，去年9月，金正恩还专程访问了俄罗斯，这也是疫情之后，金正恩的首次外访活动。

在其访俄期间，朝俄两国也就外贸、航空航天技术、军事等多个领域达成了合作。这次朝俄元首会晤也牵动了美韩等国的神经。随后，韩国和乌克兰方面就不断曝出朝鲜军援俄罗斯的相关消息。

不过，对于此事朝俄方面都没有给出过正面回应。

三 | 但可以肯定的是，在西方国家不断挑起地缘政治斗争的情况下，朝俄两个邻国加强合作是必然的结果。

四 | 而普京的连任也预示着未来朝俄两国的关系会更加稳定牢固。

除了朝鲜之外，中国也对普京就职表示了祝贺。

五 | 我外交部发言人林剑表示，此前中方领导人已经亲自致电普京祝贺其去取得连任，在中俄两国元首的战略引领下，双方将不断增进互信、拓展合作、传承友谊，践行真正的多边主义。

虽然，中方并没有给普京送去亲笔信，却有更为实在的“贺礼”。据悉，这两天，俄外交部发言人扎哈罗娃公开就中国拒绝参加涉乌问题的“伪会议”表示了感谢。众所周知，瑞士将于下个月中旬在卢塞恩市附近召开一场“乌克兰和平会议”。

而该会议却并没有邀请作为当事方的俄罗斯，但瑞士和乌克兰方面却在积极寻求中方的参加。虽然，中方一直鼓励国际社会就俄乌问题举行大型和会，但这次的会议并没有遵循公平对等原则，摆明了又是西方国家在操弄政治。

因此，中方也一直没有回应瑞士的邀请。扎哈罗娃又公开对中方表示感谢，大概率说明中国这次是不会出席瑞士和平峰会的。除此之外，近日，我国海关总署还公布了中俄贸易的最新数据。

在今年的前四个月里，中俄两国总贸易额达到了765.81亿美元，同比增长幅度为4.7%。并且，其中中国对俄罗斯的出口有所减少，但进口却得到了大幅度增长。可见，在西方加大制裁俄罗斯之际，中国却在经贸方面给俄罗斯提供了不小的帮助。

根据此前中俄领导人提出的贸易翻番目标，在今年双方贸易需达到2000亿美元，就目前的情况来看，要达成这一目标困难并不会太大。要知道，俄罗斯虽为军事强国，但经济却是其短板。

西方国家也深知这一点，所以才会不断祭出经济制裁手段对付俄罗斯。但中朝两国也用实际行动打破了西方企图“孤立”俄罗斯的阴谋。普京一上任后其助理乌沙科夫就宣布，普京本届任期内首访的国家是中国。

这也足以证明，西方依靠打压制裁这一套迫使他国屈服的手段已经行不通了，西方国家如果不改变这一套，合理看待他国的发展，最终只会作茧自缚，让其自身的发展道路越走越窄。
