華盛頓，9月15日（路透社）——德國國防部長皮斯托瑞斯週二與美國國防部長赫格塞斯簽署一封意向書，目標是在國防庫存減少之際，深化兩國武器製造商之間的合作。WASHINGTON, Sept 15 (Reuters) - German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius signed a letter of intent with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday aimed at deepening cooperation between weapons makers in both countries at a time when defense stocks have dwindled.

皮斯托瑞斯告訴記者，他與赫格塞斯進行了良好討論，並指出國防合作的細節，以及德國計畫採購戰斧巡弋飛彈一事，仍需進一步敲定。Pistorius told reporters that he had a good discussion with Hegseth, noting that details of the defense cooperation - and a planned German purchase of Tomahawk cruise missiles - still needed to be worked out.

皮斯托瑞斯表示，德國與美國在歐洲安全疑慮上「看法一致」，美國官員也理解並肯定德國加速提高國防支出與增加兵力的努力。Germany and the United States were "on the same page" regarding security concerns in Europe, and U.S. officials understood and appreciated Germany's accelerated efforts to increase defense spending and troops, Pistorius said.

一名使館發言人表示，這項協議是在會議期間簽署。The agreement was signed during the meeting, an embassy spokesman said.

皮斯托瑞斯強調，這項武器採購不會讓德國過度依賴美國，而是有助於讓這兩個盟友之間達到更好的平衡。Pistorius stressed that the weapons purchase would not make Germany too dependent on the United States, but would help achieve a better balance between the two allies, he said.

他說：「這是要在我們彼此需要的領域拉近距離，並清楚表明，在提升我們國防工業能力方面，雙方可以互蒙其利。」"It's about coming closer together in those areas in which we need each other, and to make clear that we can benefit from each other when it comes to increased capacities of our defense industry," he said.

皮斯托瑞斯表示，他沒有聽到任何對德國作為的批評或新的要求，討論過程友好且輕鬆。Pistorius said he did not hear any critiques about Germany's actions or new demands, and the discussion was friendly and relaxed.
