岸田首相、シャトル外交で訪韓　尹大統領と午後会談

　岸田文雄首相は６日、日韓首脳会談のため、政府専用機で韓国に向け羽田空港を出発した。午後にソウルで尹錫悦大統領と会談する。退陣前に、両政権下で再開した首脳の相互往来「シャトル外交」を展開し、改善した日韓関係をさらに強化する姿勢を尹氏と確認する。
　会談では、首相交代後もシャトル外交を継続する必要性を共有。北朝鮮の核・ミサイル開発に連携して対処する方針を確認する。来年の日韓国交正常化６０周年に向け、経済面や人的交流の拡大についても意見を交わす。
　首相の訪韓は、日中韓首脳会談に出席した５月以来で、在任中最後になる見通しだ。首脳会談後、尹氏との夕食会に臨む。
　出発に先立ち、首相は首相官邸で記者団に「尹氏との間で大幅に改善した日韓関係を総覧し、国交正常化６０周年を見据えた協力について議論したい」と述べた。（2024/09/06-11:53）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida left for South Korea aboard a government plane Friday to hold talks with President Yoon Suk-yeol in Seoul later in the day.
   Kishida aims to share with the South Korean president the importance of continuing mutual visits by leaders of the two countries even after the Japanese prime minister steps down. Such visits resumed under the initiatives of Kishida and Yoon.
   Kishida is set to quit after the Japanese ruling Liberal Democratic Party's Sept. 27 leadership election, in which he will not run.
   At the Seoul meeting, the two leaders are expected to agree to further strengthen their countries' relations and reaffirm their policy of working together in dealing with North Korea's nuclear and missile development.
   Ahead of the 60th anniversary next year of diplomatic normalization between Tokyo and Seoul, Kishida and Yoon will likely discuss ways to further promote bilateral economic and personnel exchanges.
