日本含め「シックスアイズ」に　草賀前大使が寄稿―豪紙

　【シドニー時事】草賀純男前駐オーストラリア大使は９日付のオーストラリアン紙に寄稿し、日豪間の協力を推進する一環として、米国や豪州など英語圏５カ国による機密情報共有の枠組み「ファイブアイズ」への日本の参加を訴えた。
　ファイブアイズは、防衛や安全保障分野で協力する枠組み。新型コロナウイルス禍や中国通信機器最大手・華為技術（ファーウェイ）への対応など世界的な問題で存在感が増している。年内の開催で調整が進むモリソン豪首相と菅義偉首相との日本での首脳会談でも議題となる可能性がありそうだ。（2020/10/09-07:49）

Japan should join the so-called Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance to create "Six Eyes" as part of efforts to boost its cooperation with Australia, former Japanese Ambassador to Australia Sumio Kusaka said.
   "There is huge potential for cooperation between Japan and Australia," which regard each other as "special strategic partners," in order to deal with China, he said in an article contributed to The Australian newspaper's Friday edition.
   As an example of cooperation, Kusaka cited the Five Eyes framework among the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
   "As Six Eyes, our nations could coordinate their policies much more effectively and with better results," Kusaka said.
   The Five Eyes alliance is increasing its presence in dealing with global issues, including the novel coronavirus pandemic and security concerns related to Chinese telecommunications equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co.
