【大紀元11月30日報導】(據民視報導)針對台灣陳水扁總統上個週末提到,將在任內推動台灣實施新憲法的問題,美國政府今天表示,美國以非常嚴肅的態度看待陳總統就職時所宣示的四不一沒有,如果陳總統有關憲改的言論與他就職宣示的內容有所矛盾,必須請他本人加以說明。
國務院發言人包潤石今天在例行簡報中被問到,陳總統打算在2006年公投複決台灣新憲法,美國對此是否有所關切.包潤石表示,美國的主要目的是維持台海的穩定,反對任何可能改變台海現狀的做法。國務院發言人包潤石:Our primary interest is in maintaining stabilityacross the Taiwan Strait, and the United States isopposed to any unilateral steps that would change thestatus quo. We are opposed to any referendum thatwould change Taiwans status or move towardsindependence.
包潤石也陳述了陳總統在就職演說中所提的四不一沒有,並表示美國對陳總統的宣示給予高度重視和肯定:The pledge included that he would not declareindependence,not change the name of Taiwansgovernment, not to add the state-to-state theory tothe constitution, and not to promote a referendumtochange the status quo on independence orunification. We appreciate President Chens pledge andhis subsequent reaffirmations of it. We take thosereaffirmations and that pledge very seriously,particularly as they apply to this referendum on a newconstitution.
包潤時並重申了美國希望兩岸以對話解決歧見的一貫立場,至於陳總統有關推動台灣新憲法的說法是否違背了他的宣示,只有請陳總統自己加以說明了。
