日韓首脳、２４日に会談　１年３カ月ぶり、中国成都で

　【ソウル時事】韓国大統領府は２０日、日韓首脳会談を中国四川省成都で２４日午後に開催すると正式に発表した。安倍晋三首相と文在寅大統領との正式な会談は、昨年９月の米ニューヨーク以来約１年３カ月ぶり。
　韓国側は悪化した両国関係の改善に向けた糸口を探りたい考え。発表した金鉉宗国家安保室第２次長は「１５カ月ぶりの首脳会談となり、この間の両国関係の困難に照らせば、開催自体に大きな意味がある」と強調。「対話の機運を維持し、関係改善の契機を用意できることを期待する」と訴えた。（2019/12/20-11:30）

A summit meeting between Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Moon Jae-in will be held in China on Tuesday, the South Korean presidential office said Friday.
   The two leaders will meet on Tuesday afternoon in the city of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, the office said.
   The meeting will be the first official talks between Abe and Moon since their meeting in New York in September last year.
   The South Korean side is expected to seek an improvement in strained bilateral relations.
   Kim Hyun-chong, deputy director of the presidential National Security Office, said that, considering the chilling of ties between the two countries since the last summit meeting 15 months ago, the fact that the meeting is being held itself has great significance.
