「極めて遺憾」とロシア非難　歴代初出席もＮＰＴ決裂―岸田首相

　岸田文雄首相は２７日、核拡散防止条約（ＮＰＴ）再検討会議の決裂を受け、首相公邸からオンラインで記者団に対し、「ロシア１カ国の反対によりコンセンサス（合意）が成立しなかったことは極めて遺憾だ」と述べた。その上で、来年５月に広島市で開かれる先進７カ国首脳会議（Ｇ７サミット）に触れ、「『核兵器のない世界』の実現に向けた国際社会の機運を高めていきたい」と強調した。
　首相は今月１日、米ニューヨークで開幕した同会議に日本の首相として初出席し、「意義ある成果を収めるため協力しよう」と呼び掛けていた。協議は当初から難航が予想されていたとはいえ、決裂は首相にとっても痛手となりそうだ。（2022/08/27-17:26）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Saturday criticized Russia after a key nuclear nonproliferation conference in New York ended in failure following nearly four weeks of negotiations.
   "It is extremely regrettable that a consensus was not reached due to opposition from one country, Russia," Kishida told reporters online, after the review conference for the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, or NPT, ended Friday without adoption of a final document.
   "I want to boost momentum in the international community toward the realization of a world without nuclear weapons," he said, referring to next year's summit of the Group of Seven major powers in the atomic-bombed western Japan city of Hiroshima in May.
   Kishida delivered a speech at the international meeting on Aug. 1, its opening day, becoming the first Japanese prime minister to take part in an NPT review conference. In the speech, he called for cooperation to achieve meaningful results.
   Although tough negotiations were expected from the beginning, the breakdown of the latest conference is likely to deal a blow to the prime minister, pundits said.
