「新たな日韓共同宣言」提案　尹政権ブレーンの朴氏

　【ソウル時事】韓国外務省直属の国立外交院の朴※（※吉を二つ横並び）熙院長は２１日、海外メディアと会見し、日韓国交正常化６０年となる来年に両国で「新たな共同宣言を出すのが良い」との考えを示した。朴氏は尹錫悦政権の外交政策に関わるブレーン。
　１９９８年の日韓共同宣言は当時の小渕恵三首相と金大中大統領が署名。「２１世紀に向けた新たな日韓パートナーシップ」を掲げ、日本の植民地支配への反省とおわびや「未来志向の関係」を明記した。
　朴氏は新たな宣言について「韓日が協力パートナーだという精神を生かすべきだ」と提案。「過去だけにとらわれるのではなく、未来へ果敢に努力しようという部分が何らかの形で出てくると思う。ただ、それは過去を忘れようとか迂回（うかい）しようということではない」と指摘した。（2024/03/21-21:14）

Japan and South Korea should issue a new joint declaration next year, when they mark the 60th anniversary of the normalization of their diplomatic relations, a diplomatic brain of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said Thursday.
   Such a document should reflect the spirit of cooperative partnership shared by the two countries, Park Cheol-hee, chancellor of the Korea National Diplomatic Academy, an affiliate of South Korea's Foreign Ministry, told foreign media organizations.
   There should be some kind of commitment by the two countries to make bold attempts toward the future, rather than being obsessed with the past, he said. But that would not mean forgetting or bypassing the past, he added.
   The 1998 Japan-South Korea joint declaration was signed by then Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi and then South Korean President Kim Dae-jung.
   The declaration underlined the need to build a new Japan-South Korea partnership toward the 21st century. In the document, Japan expressed "deep remorse and heartfelt apology" for the damage and suffering it caused to Koreans through its colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula.
