US sanctions: India defends right to buy Russian arms

美国制裁:印度捍卫购买俄罗斯武器的权利

WASHINGTON: Foreign minister S Jaishankar on Monday defended India's right to buy a missile defense system from Russia despite the threat of sanctions from the United States.

华盛顿：尽管受到美国制裁的威胁，周一印度外长苏杰生为印度从俄罗斯购买导弹防御系统进行了辩护。

"We have always maintained that what we buy — the sourcing of military equipment — is very much a sovereign right," he told reporters ahead of a meeting with secretary of state Mike Pompeo.

在与国务卿迈克·蓬佩奥会晤之前，苏杰生对记者表示：“我们一直认为，军事装备采购在很大程度上是一国属于主权范围的权利。”

"We would not like any state to tell us what to buy or not to buy from Russia any more than we would like any state to tell us to buy or not buy from America," he said.

"That freedom of choice is ours and we think it's in everybody's interest to recognize that," he said.

苏杰生表示:“我们不希望任何国家告诉我们应从俄罗斯买什么或不买什么，就像我们不希望任何国家告诉我们应从美国买什么或不买一样。我们有选择的自由，我们认为承认这一点符合所有人的利益。”

India, a Cold War ally of the Soviet Union, last year agreed to buy five S-400 systems for $5.2 billion, and Russia has said that delivery is on track.

印度是冷战时期苏联的盟友，印度去年同意以52亿美元的价格购买5套S-400系统，俄罗斯表示交付工作正在进行中。

Everybody has the right to advertise his product. But nobody can force a customer what to buy and from whom to buy. The consumers priories are: his need, the quality and the cost.

每个人都有权为自己的产品做广告。但没人能强迫顾客买什么，从谁那里买。消费者最看重的是：需求、质量和成本。
