Japan, US. Agree to Promote Missile Defense System
Japanese news reports say Japan and the United States have agreed to promote a missile defense system to ensure security in the Asia Pacific region.
Japan's Kyodo news service reports Thursday that U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso discussed the issue on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Vietnam's capital, Hanoi.
The news service reports the two diplomats discussed the defense system in light of North Korea's recent nuclear test. It also said they agreed that concrete agreements need to be reached during upcoming six-party talks on Pyongyang's nuclear program.
Earlier Thursday in Hanoi, Rice met with regional foreign ministers and told them the prosperity of the region is closely tied to combating threats such as terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and the spread of pandemic disease.
