　岸田文雄首相は１０日、アジア安全保障会議（通称シャングリラ会合）に出席するため、羽田発の政府専用機でシンガポールへ出発した。日本の首相として８年ぶりに基調講演し、中国の覇権拡大の動きを念頭に、「自由で開かれたインド太平洋」推進の行動計画を策定する方針を表明する。
　首相は出発に先立ち、首相官邸で記者団の取材に応じ、「世界の平和秩序が大きな挑戦を受ける中、平和国家の日本がどんな役割を果たせるか、ビジョンを世界に発信していきたい」と語った。（2022/06/10-12:21）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida left for Singapore on Friday to attend the Asia Security Summit, where he will pledge to craft an action plan to promote a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
   "I will tell the world about our vision as to what contribution Japan can deliver as a pacifist nation, when the peace and order of the world are facing a big challenge," Kishida told reporters before departing from Tokyo International Airport at Haneda on a government plane.
   At the conference, also known as the Shangri-La Dialogue, Kishida will deliver a keynote speech, in which he will make the pledge about the Indo-Pacific action plan apparently in view of increasingly hegemonic activities by China.
   He will be the first Japanese prime minister to deliver a keynote speech at the conference in eight years.
   Kishida will also announce his commitment not to allow a situation similar to Russia's invasion of Ukraine to happen in East Asia and share such a recognition with members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and others.
