首先，我们非常希望正在进行的外交努力将促使朝鲜民主主义人民共和国以彻底、可核查和不可逆转的方式拆除其所有大规模毁灭性武器和所有射程的弹道导弹。这是我们所有人的共同目标，也符合安全理事会相关决议。我重申，我们非常希望正在进行的外交努力将促使这些武器被彻底、可核查和不可逆转地拆除。关于钚的问题，我曾谈到，国际原子能机构（原子能机构）已得出结论，即日本拥有的包括钚在内的所有核材料都将在国际原子能机构的保障监督之下，继续用于和平活动。日本在不扩散领域不存在任何问题。此外，我要指出，日本政府继续采取各种适当措施，以坚持如无特定目的绝不拥有钚的原则。基于这一原则，日本于2018年7月推出了一项减少钚储存规模的基本政策。
First, it is our great hope that the ongoing diplomatic efforts will lead to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s complete, verifiable and irreversible dismantling of all of its weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles of all ranges. That is a common goal that we all share, and it is in compliance with the relevant Security Council resolutions. I repeat that it is our great hope that ongoing diplomatic efforts will lead to the complete, verifiable and irreversible dismantling of those weapons. With regard to the issue of plutonium, I spoke about the fact that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has concluded that all nuclear materials in Japan, including plutonium, continue to be used for peaceful activities that are under stringent IAEA safeguards. Japan has no issues in the area of non-proliferation. In addition, I would like to say that the Government of Japan continues to take appropriate measures in order to maintain the principle of not possessing plutonium without specific purposes. Based on that principle, in July 2018 Japan introduced a basic policy for reducing the size of its plutonium stockpile.
