【大紀元2016年09月08日訊】美國總統奧巴馬在為期兩天的老撾訪問中,不斷上演親民秀。先是在6日與老撾總統沃拉吉在雨中一人一把雨傘檢閱儀仗隊;週三還走在湄公河的街邊與民眾打招呼,手抱足球大的椰子,試飲椰子水。

美國總統奧巴馬在為期兩天(6-7日)的老撾訪問中,先是參加了東盟峰會,而後到訪老撾的康復中心會晤一些在越戰中被炸彈炸傷的老撾民眾,並與美國贊助的350名「東南亞青年領袖」對話。

據自由亞洲電台報導,奧巴馬週二對1,000多名老撾的民眾發表演講,強調推進亞太再平衡戰略;奧巴馬與老撾總統本揚‧沃拉吉在皇宮共進午宴;兩人並在雨中,一人手持一把雨傘閱儀仗隊。在場的美方記者,及儀隊官兵,無不全身濕透。

奧巴馬是第一位訪問老撾的在任美國總統,承諾向老撾提供9,000萬美元,在未來3年協助老撾政府清除多達8,000萬枚未爆彈。分析認為,奧巴馬此行主要目的是在東南亞建立美國的經貿地位、鞏固美國重返亞洲戰略成果,還有擴大亞洲再平衡戰略支點。

老撾天氣潮濕炎熱,奧巴馬週三全日是一身白色襯衫便服,頭帶黑色太陽眼鏡,直至登上空軍一號塔橋時,才穿上了正式的西裝。

奧巴馬並率眾在湄公河的街頭「掃街」,向老撾的民眾打招乎,圍觀的市民則舉起手機拍攝。奧巴馬走到一間賣紙紮燈籠的小店,說買些手信給兩個女兒,離開時手持購物袋。白宮指,買了些當地桑皮紙做的手工藝品(Sa Paper Handicraft)。

奧巴馬遇到賣椰子的小販,索性抱起一個足球大的椰子,狂飲椰子水。奧巴馬並向椰子攤的老闆娘說,「手腳真快」,一下就在椰子上開了個洞,還向隨行的記者說, 「你們也想喝吧?」 之後還買了幾個椰子給身邊的隨員。

在街頭,奧巴馬見到一些騎著「綿羊仔」電單車的民眾,說「我要過去跟他們說句Hi」;並問到,「也出來湊熱鬧?」 之後,奧巴馬在老撾萬象的市政廳與年輕人對話。奧巴馬重申美國的觀點,美方認為「一個國家的繁榮與否,與其人民能否分享意見,與自由表達有關。」

根據白宮的背景介紹,奧巴馬是與當地350名青年才俊見面。這些年輕人參加了一個為期三日,名為「東南亞青年領袖」的計劃,討論農村與社區的不平衡帶來的挑戰。奧巴馬向青年提到,如何與美國的政策一道,達到當地經濟、環保、教育、公民社會互惠與可持續發展。

早上,奧巴馬則到訪一間復康中心,慰問被美軍未爆彈誤傷的生還者。復康中心由美方資助,提供矯形及義肢服務。奧巴馬說,老撾人民40年來都活在越戰的陰影下,美國有義務清除遺留的未爆炸彈。 #
