盧泰愚政権「日朝進展を制止」　９０年の金丸訪朝で警戒強める―韓国外交文書

　【ソウル時事】韓国外務省は２９日、１９９０年前後の外交文書を公表した。それによると、９０年９月に自民・社会両党のいわゆる「金丸訪朝団」と北朝鮮の金日成主席が発表した「３党共同宣言」に基づき日朝国交正常化交渉が始まったことを受け、韓国の盧泰愚政権（当時）は警戒を強め、交渉を遅延させる内部方針を策定していた。
　３党共同宣言は、早期の国交樹立や補償をうたった。韓国側が日本に慎重な対応を求めたことは知られているが、政府方針として日朝進展を制止しようとしていたことが裏付けられた形だ。（2021/03/29-15:29）

The administration of then South Korean President Roh Tae-woo intended to delay negotiations between Japan and North Korea to normalize their diplomatic ties, backpedaling on its earlier stance supportive of better relations between Tokyo and Pyongyang, diplomatic records from around 1990 revealed Monday
   According to the declassified records released by the South Korean Foreign Ministry, the Roh administration set the policy of preventing quick progress in Japan-North Korea normalization talks that were launched in line with the so-called three-party joint declaration in September 1990 by a Japanese political delegation and then North Korean leader Kim Il Sung.
   Seoul initially hoped to see better Tokyo-Pyongyang ties, with Roh, in a special declaration in July 1988 to improve relations with China and the then Soviet Union, offering cooperation to North Korean efforts to normalize ties with Japan and the United States.
   The ministry also noted in an internal report in December 1989 that improvement in North Korean ties with the two countries would lead the reclusive state to become a responsible member of the international community.
   But as soon as preliminary talks for full-fledged normalization negotiations began between Tokyo and Pyongyang in November 1990, the Roh administration stipulated in internal documents that it would endeavor to delay Japan-North Korea normalization as much as possible, or at least to prevent it from coming ahead of South Korea mending ties with China.
