The British government wants to show its new military spending plan. They want to do this before the NATO meeting in Ankara.

英國政府希望公布其新的軍費開支計劃，並打算在安卡拉舉行的北約會議之前完成。

The government will share the plan on July 7 and 8. Other countries want to see the plan now. Dan Jarvis is the Defence Secretary. He found 14 billion pounds for the military. This is more money than before.

政府將於 7 月 7 日和 8 日公布該計劃。其他國家目前正期待看到此計劃。國防大臣 Dan Jarvis 為軍方籌得 140 億英鎊，這比以往的資金更多。

Some leaders left their jobs because they were unhappy. They thought the plan did not have enough money. They also worried about new dangers to the country. The army is small and some machines are old.

部分領導人因不滿而離職，他們認為該計劃的資金不足，並擔心國家面臨的新威脅。目前的軍隊規模較小，且部分設備已經陳舊。

Now, the government wants to use more computers and robots. The Labour Party is looking for a new leader. One man, Andy Burnham, says the government should spend less on poor people and more on the army.

現在，政府希望增加電腦與機器人的運用。工黨目前正在尋找新領導人。其中一名人士 Andy Burnham 表示，政府應減少對貧困人口的支出，將更多資金投入軍隊。

The UK will publish the plan before the NATO meeting. They want other countries to trust them while they find a new prime minister.

英國將在北約會議前公布該計劃。他們希望在尋找新首相的過程中，能獲得其他國家的信任。

The British government plans to publish its Defence Investment Plan (DIP) before the next NATO summit in Ankara, even though the country is currently changing its prime minister.

儘管英國目前正值首相更替期，但英國政府計劃在下次安卡拉北約峰會之前公布國防投資計劃 (DIP)。

The DIP is scheduled to be released before the NATO summit on July 7 and 8. This will be one of the final international events for Sir Keir Starmer. This timing is necessary because some Members of Parliament have asserted that long delays have damaged the United Kingdom's reputation with its allies. Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis have confirmed the plan will be released soon. Jarvis emphasized that he has secured about £14 billion in funding, which is an increase over the £13.5 billion found by his predecessor, John Healey. This extra money is intended to close a funding gap in the department's ten-year programs, although it is still unclear if the total budget will meet the 2.68% of GDP target for 2030.

DIP 預計將在 7 月 7 日與 8 日的北約峰會之前發布。這將是基爾·斯塔默爵士參與的最後幾場國際活動之一。此時間點至關重要，因為部分國會議員主張長期的延遲已損害了英國在盟友中的聲譽。財政大臣瑞秋·里夫斯與國防大臣丹·賈維斯已確認該計劃將於近期發布。賈維斯強調他已確保約 140 億英鎊的資金，較其前任約翰·希利獲得的 135 億英鎊有所增加。這筆額外資金旨在填補該部門十年計劃中的資金缺口，儘管總預算是否能達到 2030 年佔 GDP 2.68% 的目標仍不確定。

However, the development of the DIP has been unstable, leading to the resignations of two defence ministers. Former Secretary John Healey argued that the spending was too low to reach a 3% GDP target, while Al Carns resigned because he believed the plan did not address modern threats. Furthermore, the Ministry of Defence is concerned about reaching NATO's long-term goal of 3.5% of GDP by 2035. Secretary Jarvis admitted there has been a history of neglect, such as delayed nuclear upgrades and a smaller army. Consequently, he is advocating for a shift toward artificial intelligence and autonomous systems while still maintaining traditional ground forces.

然而，DIP 的開發過程並不穩定，導致兩名國防大臣辭職。前大臣約翰·希利認為支出過低，無法達到 GDP 3% 的目標；而艾爾·卡恩則因認為該計劃未能應對現代威脅而辭職。此外，國防部擔心能否實現北約 2035 年佔 GDP 3.5% 的長期目標。賈維斯大臣承認過去確實存在忽視的情況，例如核能升級延遲以及軍隊規模縮小。因此，他主張轉向人工智慧與自主系統，同時維持傳統的地面部隊。

Finally, the political situation remains uncertain as the Labour Party chooses a new leader. For example, Andy Burnham, a candidate for leadership, has suggested reducing welfare spending to increase defence funding. While Downing Street claims that no major new policies will start during this transition, they describe the DIP as a continuation of existing talks rather than a new commitment. As a result, the next administration will have to decide whether to follow the current plan or change it, which would likely cause further delays.

最後，隨著工黨選擇新黨魁，政治局勢依然不確定。例如，黨魁候選人安迪·伯納姆建議削減福利支出以增加國防資金。雖然唐寧街聲稱在過渡期間不會啟動任何重大新政策，但他們將 DIP 描述為既有討論的延續而非新承諾。因此，下一屆政府必須決定是要遵循現有計劃還是進行修改，而後者可能會導致進一步的延遲。

To maintain its international standing, the UK government is moving forward with the publication of the DIP before the July NATO summit, while waiting for a new prime minister to be appointed.

為了維持國際地位，英國政府決定在 7 月北約峰會之前公布 DIP，同時等待新首相的任命。

The British government intends to release its Defence Investment Plan (DIP) prior to the upcoming NATO summit in Ankara, despite the pending transition of prime ministerial leadership.

儘管首相領導層尚在交接中，但英國政府打算在即將於安卡拉舉行的北約峰會之前，發表國防投資計劃 (DIP)。

The publication of the DIP is scheduled to precede the NATO summit on July 7 and 8, serving as one of the final international engagements of Sir Keir Starmer. This timeline is necessitated by assertions from Members of Parliament that protracted delays have compromised the United Kingdom's credibility among its allies. Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis have confirmed the plan's imminent release, with Jarvis indicating that he has secured approximately £14 billion in funding—an increase over the £13.5 billion obtained by his predecessor, John Healey. This financial adjustment aims to mitigate a funding gap within the department's ten-year capital programs, although it remains unclear if the overall defence budget has exceeded the 2.68% of GDP projection for 2030.

DIP 預計將在 7 月 7 日與 8 日的北約峰會前發表，作為 Sir Keir Starmer 最後的幾項國際活動之一。此時間表的安排是基於國會議員的主張，認為過長的延遲已損害英國在盟友心中的信譽。財政大臣 Rachel Reeves 與國防大臣 Dan Jarvis 已確認該計劃即將發表，Jarvis 指出他已確保約 140 億英鎊的資金，高於前任 John Healey 獲得的 135 億英鎊。此次財務調整旨在緩解部門十年資本計劃中的資金缺口，儘管目前尚不清楚整體國防預算是否超過 2030 年 GDP 2.68% 的預測值。

Institutional instability has characterized the development of the DIP, as evidenced by the resignations of two defence ministers. Former Defence Secretary John Healey contended that the projected spending was insufficient to meet a 3% GDP target, while Al Carns resigned on the grounds that the plan failed to address contemporary threats. Furthermore, the Ministry of Defence has expressed concern regarding the trajectory toward NATO's long-term target of 3.5% of GDP by 2035. Secretary Jarvis has acknowledged a legacy of 'accumulated neglect,' citing delayed nuclear deterrent upgrades and a diminished army size, while advocating for a strategic pivot toward artificial intelligence, autonomy, and uncrewed systems without abandoning traditional ground forces.

DIP 的制定過程體現了體制的不穩定性，兩名國防大臣的辭職便證明了這一點。前國防大臣 John Healey 主張預計支出不足以達到 GDP 3% 的目標，而 Al Carns 則以該計劃未能應對現代威脅為由辭職。此外，國防部對能否在 2035 年達成北約 GDP 3.5% 的長期目標表示擔憂。Jarvis 大臣承認存在「累積的忽視」遺產，並提到核威懾升級延遲以及軍隊規模縮減，同時主張在不放棄傳統地面部隊的情況下，將戰略重心轉向人工智能、自主系統與無人系統。

Stakeholder positioning remains fluid as the Labour Party determines its next leader. Andy Burnham, a formal candidate for the leadership, has proposed a reduction in welfare expenditures to augment defence funding. While Downing Street maintains that no 'major policies' will be initiated during the transition, the DIP is categorized as a continuation of existing negotiations rather than a new commitment. Consequently, the subsequent administration will face a strategic choice: adhere to the established framework or initiate a revision, the latter of which would likely result in further implementation delays.

隨著工黨決定下一任領導人，利益相關者的定位仍處於變動狀態。曾競選領導人的 Andy Burnham 建議削減福利開支以增加國防資金。雖然唐寧街堅持在交接期間不會啟動任何「重大政策」，但 DIP 被定義為現有談判的延續而非新承諾。因此，下一任政府將面臨戰略選擇：遵循既有框架或啟動修訂，而後者可能會導致實施進度進一步延遲。

The UK government is proceeding with the publication of the DIP before the July NATO summit to maintain international standing, pending the appointment of a new prime minister.

英國政府在任命新首相之前，正著手於 7 月北約峰會前發表 DIP，以維持國際地位。
