台湾、平和祈念式典に参列見通し　「出席可能」と回答―長崎市

　８月９日の長崎原爆の日に開催される平和祈念式典に、台湾が初めて参列する見通しとなった。長崎市の鈴木史朗市長が５日、参列を希望していた台湾側に、「出席いただけます」と返答したと明らかにした。今後、参列者などの調整を進めるとみられる。
　市は今年、式典への招請状や案内状を送る対象を、在日公館があるか、国連に代表部がある国や地域に変更し、昨年は招待を見送ったロシアやイスラエルにも送付した。これに対し、対象に含まれなかった台湾側から遺憾の意が伝えられ、対応を検討していた。（2025/07/05-15:27）

Taiwan is expected to attend the Nagasaki peace memorial ceremony in the southwestern Japan city for the first time on Aug. 9, it was learned Saturday.
   Nagasaki Mayor Shiro Suzuki said the same day that he has told the Taiwanese side that the city has accepted its request to attend the annual event to remember the victims of the 1945 U.S. atomic bombing of the city.
   This year, the city changed its policy and sent invitations to countries and regions that have diplomatic relations with Japan or have permanent missions to the United Nations, including Russia and Israel, which were not invited last year.
   The latest move by Nagasaki came after Taiwan had expressed regret for not being included in the list.
   The western city of Hiroshima, the other atomic-bombed Japanese city, has already sent a notice of its peace memorial ceremony scheduled on Aug. 6 to Taiwan.
