AI中文摘要：
甚长基线干涉测量（VLBI）是一项基础技术，它结合了相隔数千公里的望远镜信号，以获得天文学中一些最高分辨率的图像。平方公里阵列天文台（SKAO）将为现有的VLBI阵列提供灵敏的元件，从而实现深空VLBI观测（包括南半球首次低频VLBI能力）。本章概要概述了SKAO在参与VLBI阵列时将实现的科学目标（如活动星系核物理、爆炸瞬变源定位、银河系结构和引力波），以及当前对SKAO进行VLBI操作方式的理解。鉴于VLBI需要与其他仪器合作，本章最后提出了悬而未决的问题和社区需考虑的要点，以最大化SKA-VLBI投资的科学回报。
英文摘要：
Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) is a fundamental technique that combines signals from telescopes separated by thousands of kilometres to obtain some of the highest-resolution images in astronomy. The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) will provide sensitive elements to current VLBI arrays, enabling deep VLBI observations (including the first low-frequency VLBI capability in the Southern Hemisphere). This summary chapter outlines the science that the SKAO, when participating in a VLBI array, will achieve (such as AGN physics, explosive transient localisation, Galactic structure, and gravitational waves), and the current understanding of how VLBI with the SKAO will operate. Given that VLBI requires partnerships with other instruments, the chapter concludes with outstanding issues and considerations for the community needed to maximise the scientific return on investment in SKA-VLBI.
