日本の岸田文雄首相が北朝鮮指導者との首脳会談を提案。 Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida proposes a summit with North Korean leader.

国営メディアによると、北朝鮮は日本の岸田文雄首相が北朝鮮の指導者金正恩氏と会談する意向を表明したと発表した。 North Korea says Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has expressed his intention to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, according to state media. 金正恩氏の妹で高官の金与正氏は、岸田氏の意図は別のルートで伝えられたと述べた。 Kim Yo-jong, Kim Jong-un's sister and senior official, said that Kishida's intentions were conveyed through another channel. 金与正氏は、両国関係は日本の現実的な政治的決定能力に左右されると強調した。 Kim Yo-jong emphasized that the relationship between the two countries would depend on Japan's capacity to make practical political decisions. 日本の岸田首相は以前、前提条件なしで金正恩氏と会談する意向を表明しており、20年ぶりのこうした首脳会談の実現に向けた取り組みを自ら監督している。 Japanese Prime Minister Kishida has previously stated his intention to hold talks with Kim Jong-un without preconditions and is personally overseeing efforts to realize the first such leader's summit in 20 years.
