美国在东京举行外交与军方官员会议，特朗普计划11月访华前加强区域协调
US holds ‘unusual’ civil-military meeting in Tokyo ahead of Trump’s China trip
美国高级外交官、政府官员和印太地区军事指挥官本月早些时候在东京举行会议，时间上处于特朗普计划11月访华之前。会议延续了美国驻亚太大使交流情报、协调外交报告和统一区域优先事项的长期做法，并纳入台湾事实上的美国代表；议程还包括访问日本横须贺的美国海军基地。
报道对照了美国驻亚太大使定期交流的长期做法与东京会议的人员构成，呈现其区域协调机制的变化。
Senior American diplomats, administration officials and Indo-Pacific military commanders met in Tokyo earlier this month in what one source called an “unusual” gathering ahead of US President Donald Trump’s planned visit to China in November.
People familiar with the meeting said it represented an evolution of a long-standing practice in which US ambassadors stationed across Asia and the Pacific gathered to exchange intelligence, coordinate diplomatic reporting and align regional priorities.
The Tokyo gathering brought a broad mix of diplomatic, administrative and military officials into the process, suggesting a formalised and elevated-level approach to regional coordination on the US side.
The roster also included the de facto American envoy to Taiwan, while the programme featured a visit to the US naval base in Yokosuka, Japan.
