荷兰国防部长于2026年3月5日至8日访问加勒比海群岛, Dutch defence minister visits Caribbean islands Jan 5–8, 2026, to boost military readiness amid rising regional tensions and U.S. security push.

荷兰国防部长鲁本·布雷克尔曼斯(Ruben Brekelmans)从2026年1月5日至8日访问阿鲁巴、库拉索(Curaçao)和博内尔(Bonaire), Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans is visiting Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire from January 5–8, 2026, to assess military readiness and strengthen defence ties within the Kingdom of the Netherlands amid rising regional tensions. 这次旅行是继美国国家安全战略之后进行的,该战略提高了加勒比的战略重要性,因为它位于委内瑞拉附近,是关键的贸易路线,在移徙和贩毒中扮演着重要角色。 The trip follows a U.S. National Security Strategy that elevates the Caribbean’s strategic importance due to its location near Venezuela, critical trade routes, and role in migration and drug trafficking. 特别是,库拉索岛日益被视为一个关键的安全枢纽,美国军队和海岸警卫队日益增长的存在侧重于海上控制、危机应对和抵制外国影响。 Curaçao, in particular, is increasingly seen as a key security hub, with growing U.S. military and coast guard presence focused on maritime control, crisis response, and countering foreign influence. 这些岛屿面临越来越大的压力,要解决委内瑞拉的移民危机,阿鲁巴和库拉索岛有23 000多名移民,尽管长期以来一直主张中立,但正在被吸引到更广泛的由美国主导的安全行动中。 The islands face mounting pressure to address the Venezuelan migration crisis, with over 23,000 migrants in Aruba and Curaçao, and are being drawn into broader U.S.-led security operations despite longstanding claims of neutrality. 美国现在把不受控制的移徙视为国家安全威胁,加强该地区的执法,推动加勒比国家在监视、阻截和基础设施保护方面加强合作。 The U.S. now treats uncontrolled migration as a national security threat, intensifying enforcement in the region and pushing Caribbean nations to enhance cooperation on surveillance, interdiction, and infrastructure protection.
