現状変更への反対表明　日豪防衛相

　【シンガポール時事】岸信夫防衛相は１２日、オーストラリアのマールズ国防相とシンガポールで会談した。両氏は覇権主義的な動きを強める中国を念頭に、「力を背景とした一方的な現状変更の試みや緊張を高めるいかなる行為にも強く反対する」と表明。「自由で開かれたインド太平洋」実現に向け、太平洋島しょ国などとの協力を強化する方針を確認した。（2022/06/12-16:17）

Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi and his Australian counterpart, Richard Marles, on Sunday strongly opposed any attempt to unilaterally change the status quo by coercion and any action to increase tensions, apparently with China's increasingly hegemonic activities in mind.
   Holding talks in Singapore, the two ministers agreed to further promote cooperation with regional partners including the Pacific island countries, in order to realize a free and open Indo-Pacific.
   Kishi also held talks separately with New Zealand's Defense Minister Peeni Henare and Fijian Defense Minister Inia Seruiratu, agreeing to strengthen defense cooperation and exchanges.
   The meetings took place on the sidelines of the Asia Security Summit, also known as the Shangri-La Dialogue, held in Singapore for three days through Sunday.
