日インド首脳、ＡＣＳＡ締結など協議

　【バンコク時事】安倍晋三首相は４日、訪問先のバンコク近郊でインドのモディ首相と約４５分間会談した。自衛隊とインド軍の間で食料や弾薬を相互に融通する物品役務相互提供協定（ＡＣＳＡ）の締結などについて協議した。日印政府は１２月に予定されている安倍氏訪印に合わせてＡＣＳＡを締結したい考えだ。
　両氏の会談は９月のロシア極東ウラジオストク以来。両氏はバングラデシュやスリランカなど第三国に対し、日印共同での経済協力を推進することで一致した。南シナ海で活動を活発化させる中国の動向を念頭に、海洋安全保障の問題も話し合った。（2019/11/04-18:22）

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, discussed the planned conclusion of a bilateral defense logistics pact, at a meeting held in a suburb of Bangkok on Monday.
   The Japanese government hopes to sign the acquisition and cross-servicing agreement that will allow the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the Indian military to share food, ammunition and other items, when Abe visits India possibly in December.
   Abe and Modi met for the first time since they held talks in the Russian Far East city of Vladivostok in September.
   At the latest meeting, which lasted 45 minutes, they agreed that Japan and India will actively offer economic cooperation to third countries, such as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, in a joint initiative.
   Abe and Modi also discussed maritime security issues, with China, which is beefing up its activities in the South China Sea, in mind.
