Okinawa governor to cancel permits for new US military base

沖繩縣知事撤銷美軍基地建設(shè)許可

The governor of Japan's southern island of Okinawa says he will cancel permits for building a new United States air base on Okinawa. Governor Takeshi Onaga made the announcement after talks broke down between his administration and Japan's central government.Visit the website www.chinavoa.com to get more information!

日本南部島嶼沖繩縣知事表示，他將撤銷美軍在沖繩建立新空軍基地的許可。在沖繩縣政府同日本中央政府談判失敗后，沖繩縣知事翁長(zhǎng)雄志宣布了這一消息。

His decision was announced just days after work on the base restarted near a coastal village on the island. The building project had been suspended for one month to give the two sides time to negotiate.

在該基地重啟建設(shè)工作數(shù)天之后，他宣布了該決定。該基地位于沖繩島一個(gè)沿海村莊附近。該建設(shè)項(xiàng)目已經(jīng)停工之個(gè)月，旨在給雙方時(shí)間進(jìn)行談判。

Mr. Onaga was elected governor last year after promising to block the relocation of the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air Base. The base was to be moved from a heavily populated area of Okinawa to a village called Henoko. Instead, Mr. Onaga wants the facility to be moved to another island. Over 19,000 U.S. Marines are stationed in Okinawa in order to rapidly respond to regional threats, provide disaster assistance and defend the interests of the United States and Japan.

去年，在承諾撤銷美國(guó)海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)普天間空軍基地搬遷許可后，翁長(zhǎng)雄志先生當(dāng)選為沖繩縣知事。該基地從沖繩縣一處人口稠密的地區(qū) 搬遷至邊野古。相反，翁長(zhǎng)雄志先生希望該基地搬遷到另一座島嶼。超過(guò)1.9萬(wàn)名海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)士兵駐扎在沖繩，以便快速應(yīng)對(duì)地區(qū)威脅、提供災(zāi)難援助及捍衛(wèi)美國(guó) 與日本利益。

However, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters Monday that work on the new base on Henoko will continue. The central government could bring legal action against Mr. Onaga to block his action.

然而，日本內(nèi)閣官房長(zhǎng)官菅義偉向記者透露，邊野古新基地建設(shè)工作將會(huì)繼續(xù)進(jìn)行。日本中央政府將會(huì)對(duì)翁長(zhǎng)雄志先生提起法律訴訟來(lái)阻止他的行動(dòng)。
