U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has held talks with Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in Mumbai MUMBAI, India -- MUMBAI, India — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held talks with Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in Mumbai on Tuesday as the two countries seek to deepen energy cooperation and move closer to finalizing a trade deal.
新德里和华盛顿希望重启因美国关税问题以及印度购买俄罗斯石油而陷入僵局的贸易谈判。
New Delhi and Washington seek to revive trade negotiations stalled for months by tensions over U.S. tariffs and India’s purchases of Russian oil.
卢比奥在孟买对记者表示:“我们已非常接近达成协议了;只剩下少数几个问题需要解决,相信很快就能完成谈判。”
“We’re very, very close. I would say we’re about as close as you can be without having executed the agreement. I think there’s a small number of items left to wrap up, so I think that will happen shortly,” Rubio told reporters in Mumbai on Tuesday.
印度外交部称,会谈将涵盖能源、贸易、投资和防务等双边合作的关键领域。
India’s foreign ministry said the talks were expected to cover key areas of bilateral cooperation, including energy, trade, investment and defense.
2025年8月,由于贸易谈判破裂,华盛顿对大多数印度商品征收了高达50%的关税;根据2026年2月达成的协议,关税率被降至18%,但谈判此后陷入停滞。
Washington imposed tariffs of up to 50% on most Indian goods in August 2025 after trade talks broke down. Under a framework agreed in February 2026, the tariff rate was reduced to 18%, but negotiations have since stalled.
本月早些时候,印度财政部长尼玛拉·西塔拉曼表示谈判已“陷入僵局”;不过印度商业和工业部长皮尤什·戈亚尔上周表示,贸易协议的第一阶段谈判已进入最后阶段。
Earlier this month, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the talks had “plateaued.”India’s Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, however, said last week that the first tranche of a trade deal was in its final stages.
印度方面表示,其最终的关税率应与越南等竞争对手国家保持一致。
India says its final tariff rate should be similar to those of competing manufacturing countries, such as Vietnam.
自乌克兰战争爆发以来,印度大量购买俄罗斯原油,这一度导致印美关系紧张。新德里表示将扩大能源进口来源(包括从美国进口),同时通过多元化供应商来维持市场稳定并控制物价。
India’s purchases of discounted Russian crude since the start of the war in Ukraine have at times strained ties with the U.S. New Delhi has said it will expand energy imports, including from the U.S., while diversifying suppliers to maintain market stability and keep prices affordable.
尽管存在分歧,两国仍在继续加强防务和技术合作;华盛顿将印度视为印度-太平洋地区对抗中国的关键力量。
Despite tensions, the two countries continue to deepen defense and technology ties, with Washington viewing India as a key counterweight to China in the Indo-Pacific.
卢比奥此次访问印度,是在他本周访问乌兹别克斯坦、推动与中亚地区的贸易和合作关系之后进行的。
Rubio's visit to India follows a trip to Uzbekistan this week to promote trade and ties with Central Asia.
在周六离开前接受记者采访时,卢比奥表示,印度虽然已经实现了能源来源的多元化,但仍大量进口俄罗斯石油,因此立即转向其他能源供应商较为困难。
Speaking to reporters Saturday before his departure, Rubio said that India had diversified its energy sources but continued to buy substantial volumes of Russian oil, making an immediate shift to other suppliers difficult.
“以印度为例,该国虽然主动实现了能源结构的多元化,但由于转变能源供应来源需要时间,因此仍从俄罗斯进口大量石油。不过,印度也是美国的重要盟友和合作伙伴,”他说。
“You’ve got countries like India, for example, that have voluntarily diversified their energy portfolio but are still getting a substantial amount of energy from Russia because it’s hard to pivot from one day to the next. But they’re also an important ally and partner of the United States,” he said.
据美国国务院消息,卢比奥计划于周三访问古吉拉特邦的詹纳加尔市,并与当地企业领袖会面。
Rubio is scheduled to visit a refinery in Jamnagar city in Gujarat state on Wednesday and meet business leaders, according to the U.S. State Department.
詹纳加尔市的炼油厂由印度亿万富翁穆克什·安巴尼旗下的信实工业公司(Reliance Industries)运营,是全球最大的炼油设施。今年3月,唐纳德·特朗普总统宣布该公司将在德克萨斯州的布朗斯维尔投资3000亿美元建设一座新的炼油厂。卢比奥上次访问印度是在今年5月。
The Jamnagar facility, operated by Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries, is the world’s largest refining complex. In March, President Donald Trump announced that the company was investing $300 billion to set up an oil refinery in Brownsville, Texas. Rubio last visited India in May.
此次报道修正了卢比奥关于印度能源结构多元化的相关言论的地点和时间信息:他是在周六仍在美国境内时发表这些评论的。
The story corrects the place and timing of Rubio's quote on India diversifying its energy portfolio. He made the comments on Saturday while still in the U.S.
