克林頓將敦促南蘇丹解決與蘇丹的分歧

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has arrived in South Sudan, where she is expected to push for compromise between the world's newest country and Sudan.

美國國務卿希拉里·克林頓抵達南蘇丹，預計她將敦促這個世界上最新成立的國家與蘇丹達成妥協。

Clinton is meeting Friday with South Sudan President Salva Kiir in Juba during the brief visit.

在對南蘇丹的短暫訪問期間，克林頓星期五將在南蘇丹首都朱巴會晤南蘇丹總統基爾。

Sudan and South Sudan failed to meet a United Nations August 2 deadline to settle differences on citizenship, oil revenue, and border demarcation that remain unresolved 13 months after the two nations split. The diplomatic failure could expose both nations to economic sanctions.

南蘇丹與蘇丹沒有在聯合國規定的最後期限8月2日之前解決國籍、石油收入以及邊界劃界等問題。這兩個國家分離之後，這些問題懸而未決已達13個月。如果不能通過外交途徑解決問題，南蘇丹和蘇丹可能受到經濟制裁。

A U.S. State Department official traveling with Clinton on her multi-nation African tour said the bitter divisions over territory and oil threaten to wreck the economies of both nations.

一名隨同克林頓出訪非洲的美國國務院官員說，南蘇丹和蘇丹圍繞領土和石油收入的嚴重分歧使兩國的經濟陷於困境。
