中ロ念頭に「経済的威圧」非難　供給網再編を主導―日米首脳

　【ワシントン時事】岸田文雄首相とバイデン米大統領は１３日の首脳会談で、経済安全保障の連携強化についても合意した。日米共同声明は、貿易相手国に圧力をかける中国やロシアを念頭に「自らの経済力を用いて他者を利用する全ての主体を非難する」と強調。半導体やエネルギーを含む重要物資の国際サプライチェーン（供給網）再編に向けて、日米が主導的な役割を果たすと明記した。
　日本と米国は、今年それぞれ議長国を務める先進７カ国（Ｇ７）、アジア太平洋経済協力会議（ＡＰＥＣ）の主要議題の一つに「経済的威圧」への対応策を挙げている。両国は首脳会談に合わせて「日米経済政策協議委員会」（経済版２プラス２）の次官級会合を開き、経済安保を巡る結束を確認した。
　これを踏まえ、日米首脳は「自由で公正なルールに基づく経済秩序を支えていく」と宣言。さらに、「同志国間でサプライチェーンの強靱（きょうじん）性を構築する」と訴えた。（2023/01/14-10:45）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and U.S. President Joe Biden agreed Friday to beef up cooperation between the two countries in the field of economic security.
   "We will condemn all who use their economic power to take advantage of others," the two leaders said in a joint statement adopted at their meeting in Washington, apparently with in mind China and Russia, which are pressuring trading partners.
   The statement suggested that Japan and the United States will play a leading role in reorganizing the international supply chains for important goods such as semiconductors and energy.
   Japan and the United States have set the fight against economic coercion as a major agenda item for the Group of Seven leading democracies and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. Tokyo and Washington hold the presidency of the G-7 and the APEC forum, respectively, this year.
   The statement said that Japan and the United States uphold a free, fair and rules-based economic order, adding that the two countries "will build resilience in our societies and supply chains among like-minded partners" against threats such as economic coercion and nonmarket policies and practices.
