那覇軍港移設案を沖縄県に提示　浦添沖４９ヘクタール埋め立て―政府

　防衛省は３０日、米軍那覇軍港（那覇市）移設に関する協議会をオンライン形式で開き、移設計画案を沖縄県と那覇、浦添両市に提示した。計画案は浦添ふ頭北側を約４９ヘクタール埋め立て、代替施設を設けることが柱。移設をめぐっては、玉城デニー知事を支える「オール沖縄」の中で賛否が分かれており、玉城氏が難しい判断を迫られる可能性もある。
　政府は地元の合意が得られれば、日米合同委員会を経て、建設に着手したい考え。設計・工事には９年以上かかるとみられ、日米両政府が合意した「２０２８年度以降」の返還は大幅にずれ込む見通しだ。（2022/03/30-20:29）

Japan's Defense Ministry presented a draft plan to relocate a U.S. military port within the southernmost Japan prefecture of Okinawa, at an online meeting with the prefecture and the cities of Naha and Urasoe, both in Okinawa, on Wednesday.
   The draft plan calls for relocating the military port, currently in Naha, to a reclaimed area of around 49 hectares to be created north of the Urasoe pier.
   As the "All Okinawa" camp supporting Okinawa Governor Denny Tamaki is divided over the U.S. port relocation, Tamaki may face a tough decision.
   If the relocation plan gains the consent of local communities, the Japanese government aims to start construction of the new facility after taking procedures at the Japan-U.S. Joint Committee.
   The project is expected to take at least nine years, so there will be a significant delay to the initially scheduled return as early as fiscal 2028 of the port to Okinawa, agreed by the Japanese and U.S. governments.
