復帰50年「基地なき島」要求 沖縄知事、岸田首相に建議書

 沖縄県が15日に本土復帰50年を迎えるのを前に、同県の玉城デニー知事は10日、首相官邸で首相と会談し、県の要求をまとめた「建議書」を手渡した。建議書は半世紀前に当時の琉球政府が願った「平和で豊かな沖縄」の実現を求める内容。首相は「しっかり受け止める」と応じた。
 建議書は在日米軍基地の7割が沖縄に集中する現状に触れ、「沖縄を平和の島とする目標は50年経過した現在もいまだ達成されていない」と指摘。米軍普天間飛行場(宜野湾市)の名護市辺野古移設断念や日米地位協定の改定を求めている。(2022/05/10-19:17)

Governor Tamaki Demands Okinawa's Peace and Prosperity


Okinawa Governor Denny Tamaki on Tuesday handed Prime Minister Fumio Kishida a request that the central government do more to realize the peace and prosperity of the southernmost Japan prefecture.
   Tamaki and Kishida met in Tokyo ahead of the 50th anniversary on Sunday of Okinawa's return to Japan after post-World War II occupation by U.S. forces.
   At the meeting, Kishida said he will "fully accept" the request, in which Okinawa asks for the realization of peace and prosperity as demanded by the now-defunct Ryukyu government in a similar request in 1971, a year before Okinawa's reversion to Japan.
   The latest request noted that 70 pct of the total land area of U.S. military bases in Japan is concentrated in Okinawa and that the goal of making Okinawa peaceful islands has not been achieved although 50 years have passed.
   Okinawa also urged the central government to drop its plan to relocate the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma air station in Ginowan, Okinawa, to the Henoko coastal district in another Okinawa city of Nago and revise the Japan-U.S. status of forces agreement.
