- 赞比亚表示卫生与矿产协议应分开处理
- 美赞两项拟议协议均处于谈判阶段
- 多国因数据隐私担忧拒绝美国卫生协议
卢萨卡5月4日路透电——赞比亚政府周一表示，反对美国将卫生 funding 与关键矿产准入挂钩的企图，并首次详细说明了与华盛顿就两项拟议协议的谈判陷入僵局的原因。
赞比亚外交部长穆兰博·海姆贝表示，美国在一项拟议的卫生协议中提议未来五年提供最高20亿美元的支持，但其中一些关于数据共享的条款将侵犯赞比亚人的隐私权。

他还表示，赞比亚对一项拟议的关键矿产协议的内容存在异议。
“另一个担忧……是拟议协议和框架相互绑定，使得关键矿产协议的签署以卫生谅解备忘录的签署为条件，”海姆贝在一份声明中说道。
“赞比亚政府始终坚持，应根据两项协议各自的优缺点分别审议，”他补充道。
他未具体说明美国要求获取哪些卫生数据。
关于关键矿产协议，他表示赞比亚不愿接受相关条款，原因是美方坚持要求美国公司获得优惠待遇。

美国国务院表示，不会披露双边谈判的细节。
卫生倡导者曾警告称，这项拟议的卫生协议将资金与矿产准入挂钩，并带来数据共享风险，但赞比亚政府此前仅表示其中部分内容不符合该国利益。
多个非洲国家已签署代表特朗普政府对外援助新方案的谅解备忘录。加纳和津巴布韦因数据共享要求拒绝了该协议。
海姆贝的这份声明是为回应即将离任的美国大使迈克尔·冈萨雷斯的批评，后者指责赞比亚未能就卫生资金提议进行磋商，海姆贝对此予以否认。

- Zambia says health and minerals deals should be separate
- Both proposed US agreements are under negotiation
- Other countries rejected US health deals on data privacy concerns
LUSAKA, May 4 (Reuters) – Zambia’s government said on Monday that it opposed a U.S. attempt to tie health funding to access to critical minerals, giving details for the first time about why negotiations with Washington over two proposed agreements have stalled.
Zambia’s Foreign Minister Mulambo Haimbe said the United States had offered support of up to $2 billion over the next five years in a proposed health agreement, but that some of the terms regarding data sharing would violate Zambians’ right to privacy.

Separately, he said Zambia had objections to the content of a proposed critical minerals agreement.
“A further concern… is the coupling of the proposed agreements and frameworks to one another such that the conclusion of the critical minerals agreement is made conditional to the conclusion of the Health MOU,” Haimbe said in a statement.
“The Zambian Government has been consistent that the agreements must be considered separately on their respective merits,” he added.
He did not specify what health data the U.S. was asking for.
Regarding the critical minerals agreement, he said Zambia was reluctant to accept the terms due to an insistence on preferential treatment for U.S. companies.

The U.S. State Department has said that it does not disclose details of bilateral negotiations.
Health advocates had warned that the proposed health deal linked the money to mining access and brought data-sharing risks, but Zambia’s government previously said only that parts of it were not aligned with the country’s interests.
A number of African nations have signed memorandums of understanding which represent the Trump administration’s new approach to foreign aid. Ghana and Zimbabwe have rejected them over data sharing demands.
The statement from Haimbe was issued in response to criticism from outgoing U.S. ambassador Michael Gonzales, who accused Zambia of failing to engage on the health funding offer, something which Haimbe denied.
