据报道，对于有报道称高市早苗计划修改"无核三原则"，岸田文雄在接受日媒采访时表示，不对基于媒体消息的"推测"做出评论。不过，岸田补充称，他已 经在任职首相期间多次重申其立场，即历届日本政府一直秉持"无核三原则"，这不会有任何变化。 除岸田外，自民党参议员宫泽洋一称"不认为推进修改无核三原则是有益的" ；自民党众议员、法务大臣平口洋表示"应该守护无核三原则" ；自民党众议员 寺田稔则强调"绝不应推进修改无核三原则"。 【环球网报道】据日媒11月18日报道，针对近日有报道称高市早苗计划修改"无核三原则"，日本前首相岸田文雄等4名广岛选区的自民党国会议员表态反对 修改"无核三原则"。 另一方面，另外4名广岛选区的自民党国会议员中，自民党众议员石桥林太郎称，"如果有必要应推进修改无核三原则。"剩余三人并未对是否应坚持"无核三 原则"做出明确答复。 据报道，1967年提出的"无核三原则"是日本的基本核政策，即"不拥有、不制造、不运进"核武器。日本现行《国家安全保障战略》写明"坚持无核三原则的 基本方针今后也不会改变"。 据日本媒体披露，高市正探讨在修订《国家安全保障战略》等"安保三文件"时，对"无核三原则"中不引进核武 ...
