东京讯——日本外务省计划在本届国会期间推动议会批准与孟加拉国签署的经济伙伴关系协定，旨在深化两国合作，并制衡中国在地区影响力的不断提升。
TOKYO -- Japan's Foreign Ministry aims to have parliament approve an economic partnership agreement with Bangladesh during the current legislative session, helping to deepen cooperation between the two countries and serve as a counterweight to China's growing presence.
日本外务省还为孟加拉国提供了关税相关专业指导，协助其起草该国首份经济伙伴关系协定。
The ministry provided Bangladesh with tariff-related expertise in drafting what is the country's first economic partnership agreement.
得益于持续的经济增长，孟加拉国预计将于下月底脱离“最不发达国家”行列。这一身份曾使其出口至发达国家的商品享受免关税待遇。该经济协定有望缓解该国失去这一待遇后可能面临的关税冲击。
Buoyed by continuing economic growth, Bangladesh is expected to graduate late next month from least developed country (LDC) status, which exempts its exports to developed countries from tariffs. The economic pact is seen cushioning the impact of tariffs that would be imposed after the designation is removed.
两国于今年2月签署了经济伙伴关系协定。待议会批准等国内程序完成且双方互相通知后，协定即可生效，预计最早将于2027年上半年实施。
The countries signed the economic partnership agreement in February. It will take effect once domestic procedures, such as parliamentary approval, are completed and each side has notified the other. This could take place as soon as the first half of 2027.
协定生效后，日本出口至孟加拉国的汽车发动机与轮胎的关税将在15年内逐步取消；未来日本产乘用车也将获得与其他国家同等的市场准入待遇。
Once the agreement comes into force, tariffs on automobile engines and tires exported from Japan to Bangladesh will be eliminated within 15 years. Passenger vehicles from Japan will be guaranteed treatment on par with other countries in the future.
同时，日本进口自孟加拉国的纺织品关税也将予以免除，从而防止该国脱离“最不发达国家”行列后出现服装价格上涨的情况。
Tariffs will be eliminated on textile products imported by Japan, helping to prevent price increases for clothing after Bangladesh graduates from LDC status.
日本政府协助孟加拉国起草该经济协定，旨在降低该国未来签署不利经贸协议的风险。
The Japanese government assisted Bangladesh in drafting the economic agreement with an eye toward reducing the risk of the country entering unfavorable agreements in the future.
除就关税减免领域及受保护商品范围展开磋商外，日本还详细分析了协定各项条款可能带来的经济影响与风险，并明确了实施协定所需的国内法律框架。
In addition to negotiations on the sectors in which tariffs would be reduced, as well as the items to be protected, Japan outlined the economic effects and risks associated with each provision. It also laid out the domestic legal framework that would be necessary.
孟加拉国的首个经贸协定（EPA）很可能成为与其他国家谈判的基础。随着中国寻求深化与孟加拉国的关系，与日本的经济协定被视为在贸易规则方面树立榜样的有力帮助。
Bangladesh's first EPA is likely to serve as a basis for negotiations with other countries. As China seeks to deepen its relationship with Bangladesh, the economic pact with Japan is seen helping set an example in terms of trade rules.
中国是孟加拉国最大的进口来源国，两国的经济联系十分紧密。自2024年亲印度的哈西娜政府下台以来，孟加拉国一直在寻求在安全和基础设施发展方面的合作。
With China as Bangladesh's largest source of imports, their economic ties are strong. Bangladesh has sought cooperation in security and infrastructure development since the end of the India-friendly Hasina government in 2024.
“中国将制定有利于自身利益的经济协定，”一位日本外务省高级官员表示。
"China will create economic agreements favorable to its own interests," said a senior Japanese Foreign Ministry official.
日本在制定经济协定方面有着悠久历史，包括《全面与进步跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》（CPTPP）。凭借这一丰富经验，日本旨在协助孟加拉国的发展，深化与该国的经济联系，并遏制中国的影响。
Japan has a history of hammering out economic agreements, including the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). Tapping this extensive experience, Japan aims to assist Bangladesh's development, deepen economic ties with the country and curb China's influence.
