対ロシア制裁を拡大　北朝鮮・迂回対策を強化―政府

　政府は１０日、ウクライナ侵攻を継続するロシアへの追加制裁を発表した。北朝鮮国籍の個人を含む３３団体と１２個人を、外為法に基づく資産凍結対象に新たに指定。ロシアや中国などの５３団体を輸出禁止措置などの対象に加えた。
　北朝鮮によるロシア支援、第三国を迂回（うかい）した制裁逃れへの対応強化が狙い。
林芳正官房長官は記者会見で「平和のための国際的な努力に寄与するためのものだ」と説明。「今後とも先進７カ国（Ｇ７）をはじめとする国際社会と連携して取り組む」と語った。（2025/01/10-12:05）

The Japanese government on Friday announced additional sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
   A total of 33 organizations and 12 individuals, including a North Korean national, were added to the Japanese list of asset freeze targets under the foreign exchange and foreign trade law, and 53 organizations from countries including Russia and China newly became subject to export bans and other measures.
   Also, Japan will ban the export of 335 more goods, including small motorcycles and components for special-purpose vehicles such as cranes, to Russia, starting on Jan. 23.
   The aim is to strengthen Japan's response to North Korea's support for Russia and Moscow's use of third countries to evade sanctions.
   "(The additional steps) are to contribute to international efforts for peace," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi told a press conference. "Japan will continue to work in cooperation with the international community, including its Group of Seven partners."
