対中国・北朝鮮で連携確認　日米韓外相が会談

　日米韓３カ国の外相は３日（日本時間同日）、ブリュッセルで会談した。東・南シナ海で覇権主義的な行動を繰り返す中国や、ロシアと軍事協力を深める北朝鮮への対応を協議。３カ国が法の支配など共通の価値観を堅持し、結束して抑止力・対処力を強化して対応することが平和と安定につながるとの認識を改めて確認した。
　会談したのは岩屋毅外相、米国のルビオ国務長官、韓国の趙兌烈外相。１月のトランプ米政権発足後、日米韓の外相会談は２月のドイツ・ミュンヘンに続いて２回目だ。
　日米韓は北朝鮮の核・ミサイル開発やロシアとの軍事協力への深刻な懸念を表明。経済安全保障分野での３カ国協力の具体化に向けて議論を進めることでも一致した。（2025/04/03-21:56）

The foreign ministers of Japan, the United States and South Korea on Thursday affirmed their countries' cooperation in dealing with China and North Korea.
   In their meeting in Brussels, Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul discussed China, which is repeating increasingly hegemonic moves in the East and South China seas.
   They also discussed ways to respond to North Korea, which is deepening its military cooperation with Russia.
   The officials confirmed that their countries' adherence to common values such as the rule of law and their united efforts to strengthen deterrence and response capabilities lead to peace and stability.
   This is the second meeting among the foreign ministers of the three countries since the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump in January and the first since their previous meeting in Munich, Germany, in February.
