Malaysia, India aim to repair soured ties that hit palm trade

关系恶化影响棕榈油贸易，马来西亚和印度计划修复关系

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia and India will work on improving ties that soured under former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and badly affected palm oil trade between the countries, officials from both nations said on Sunday.

吉隆坡：马来西亚和印度官员周日表示，两国将致力于改善关系。在马来西亚前总理马哈蒂尔•穆罕默德执政期间，两国关系恶化，严重影响了两国之间的棕榈油贸易。

India is the world's biggest palm oil importer but its purchases from Malaysia, the second-biggest palm exporter behind Indonesia, dropped drastically in recent months after attacks on India's policies by Mahathir.

印度是全球最大的棕榈油进口国，而在马哈蒂尔抨击印度的政策后，近几个月印度从马来西亚的购买量大幅下降。马来西亚是仅次于印尼的第二大棕榈油出口国。

Malaysia swore in a new prime minister on Sunday after last week's resignation by the outspoken Mahathir, 94, after a power battle in his coalition government.

马来西亚新总理周日宣誓就职。上周，94岁的马哈蒂尔在联合政府内部的权力斗争之际辞职。

Wee Ka Siong, a lawmaker expected to gain a ministerial post, said that mending ties is a priority because Malaysian palm oil producers have been suffering because of India's effective ban on purchases.

预计将上任部长职位的马来西亚议员魏家祥表示，修复关系是优先事项，印度的采购禁令致使马来西亚棕榈油生产商受到了影响。

"Can we just renegotiate? It’s for my country as well as for my people," Wee stated. "Since we are a new government, let the PM, the new government deal with it. We treasure the friendship with India."

“我们可以重新谈判吗?”这是为了我的国家，也是为了我的人民。既然我们组建了新政府，就让新总理，新政府来处理吧。我们珍视与印度的友谊。”

An Indian official with knowledge of the matter said that New Delhi is also keen to improve bilateral ties, including palm oil trading, provided that Malaysia keeps out of India's domestic affairs.

一位知情的印度官员表示，只要马来西亚不干涉印度内政，新德里方面也渴望改善双边关系，包括促进棕榈油贸易。

India could also invite the new Malaysian prime minister, Muhyiddin Yassin, for a visit this year, the official said on the condition of anonymity.

这位不愿透露姓名的官员表示，今年印度还可能邀请马来西亚新总理穆希丁·亚辛到印度访问。

India put refined palm oil and palmolein on its list of restricted items on January 8, a move sources said was in response to Mahathir's criticism of its actions in Kashmir and a new citizenship law.

1月8日，印度将成品油和棕榈油列入其限制商品清单，消息人士称，此举是为了回应马哈蒂尔对印度克什米尔行动和新公民法的批评。

Malaysia's January palm shipments to India tanked 85% from a year earlier to 46,876 tonnes, the lowest since 2011.

1月份马来西亚对印度的棕榈油出口量同比下降85%，至46876吨，为2011年以来的最低水平。

India accounted for nearly a quarter of Malaysia's total palm oil exports last year and has been the biggest buyer of Malaysian palm oil for five years.

去年，印度占马来西亚棕榈油出口总额的近四分之一，而且五年来一直是马来西亚棕榈油的最大买家
