対日関係正常化、強力に推進　両国経済にもプラス―韓国大統領

　【ソウル時事】韓国の尹錫悦大統領は２６日、国連総会に出席した際の岸田文雄首相との「会談」を踏まえ、記者団に「今後、いかなる困難があっても、韓日関係の正常化を強力に推進する考えだ」と強調した。
　尹氏は「両国の企業が正常化を切に望んでいる。関係が正常化すれば、両国の企業が相互に投資することによって双方で雇用が増え、成長にプラスになる」と訴えた。
　「韓日関係は１回（の協議）で満足できる成果を得られるような関係ではない」とも指摘。「両国国民の考えをよく見極めながら、無理なく関係正常化すべきだ」と述べ、元徴用工問題などの解決に向け、世論の支持を得る努力も並行して進める考えを示した。
　一方、安倍晋三元首相の国葬に出席する韓日議員連盟の鄭鎮碩会長は２６日、出発に先立ち記者団に、日本政府が海外からの個人旅行の受け入れや短期滞在ビザ免除の再開を決めたことに関連し「両国間の難しい歴史の懸案を解決していきながら、若い世代が望む交流の拡大を進める２トラックの努力が必要ではないか」と語った。（2022/09/26-11:38）

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol on Monday stressed his determination to improve soured relations with Japan.
   Following his talks with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on the fringe of a U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York last week, Yoon told reporters that he will strongly promote efforts to bring the bilateral relations back to a normal state whatever challenges there may be going forward.
   Noting that businesses in the two nations seriously want to see the bilateral ties get back to normal, Yoon said that improvement in the relations will lead South Korean and Japanese companies to invest in each other's nation, which will increase jobs in both countries and spur economic growth.
   At the same time, the South Korean leader suggested his intention to make efforts to win public support at home toward resolving pending bilateral issues including one related to Koreans who were requisitioned to work for Japanese firms during World War II.
   A single round of bilateral talks alone will not bring about satisfactory results, and it is important to work on getting the South Korea-Japan relations back to normal while carefully assessing the thoughts of people in the two countries, he said.
