石破首相「日米同盟さらに強化」　防衛力整備を実現―自衛隊観閲式

　石破茂首相は９日、陸上自衛隊朝霞訓練場（埼玉県朝霞市など）で開催された自衛隊観閲式で訓示した。トランプ次期米大統領と月内に調整中の対面会談を念頭に「同盟のさらなる強化に共に取り組んでいきたい」と訴えた。
　中国やロシア、北朝鮮の軍事動向に触れつつ、「日米同盟は日本外交・安全保障の基軸だ」と強調。「同盟国・同志国間のネットワークを有機的・重層的に構築し、地域の安全と安定を一層確保する」と述べた。
　反撃能力（敵基地攻撃能力）で運用する長射程ミサイル整備などの防衛力強化を「着実に実現していく」と表明。自身が重視する自衛官の処遇改善についても、関係閣僚会議で早期に具体策を取りまとめる考えを示した。（2024/11/09-11:21）

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Saturday pledged to strengthen the alliance between Japan and the United States.
   "We want to work together to further strengthen the alliance," Ishiba told a Self-Defense Forces review ceremony at a training field of the Ground SDF's Camp Asaka, which straddles Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture, apparently keeping in mind a possible meeting with incoming U.S. President Donald Trump.
   Work is underway for setting up Ishiba's first face-to-face meeting with Trump, who won Tuesday's U.S. presidential election, later this month.
   Referring to recent military activities by China, Russia and North Korea, Ishiba said, "The Japan-U.S. alliance is the cornerstone of Japan's diplomacy and national security."
   "We will build a network of allies and like-minded countries in an effective and multi-layered manner to further ensure regional security and stability," he said.
