ＩＣＢＭ発射で北朝鮮非難　日米韓外相が電話会談

　【ワシントン時事】日米韓３カ国外相は３１日に電話会談し、北朝鮮による同日の大陸間弾道ミサイル（ＩＣＢＭ）発射は国連安全保障理事会決議違反だとして、強く非難した。また、朝鮮半島周辺の平和と安定を脅かす行為を直ちに中止するよう求めた。
　電話会談は、岩屋毅外相とブリンケン米国務長官、韓国の趙兌烈外相が行った。この後、米国務省が共同声明を発表した。
　声明は、北朝鮮が改正した憲法で韓国を「敵対国」と明記したことが伝えられた後にＩＣＢＭを発射したことに言及し、北朝鮮の意図に強い警戒感を示した。その上で、「朝鮮半島に永続的な平和をもたらすことができるのは対話を通じてだけだ」として、北朝鮮に核・ミサイル問題を巡る協議に戻るよう呼び掛けた。（2024/11/01-07:11）

Japan, the United States and South Korea on Thursday strongly condemned North Korea's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile the same day as a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.
   Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul also urged North Korea to immediately halt any actions that threaten peace and stability in and around the Korean Peninsula.
   The missile was launched following North Korea's recent announcement that its Constitution now defines South Korea as a hostile state, the ministers said in a statement released after their telephone talks, expressing strong concerns about North Korea's intentions.
   "Only through dialogue can we achieve a lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula," the ministers said, demanding that North Korea return to talks on its nuclear and missile issues.
   The officials also criticized North Korea for deepening military cooperation with Russia, including through the dispatch of its troops to Russia.
