Bush fordert Nordkorea zur Verschrottung seiner Atomwaffen auf Santiago de Chile (dpa) - US-Präsident George W. Bush hat Nordkorea zur Rückkehr an den Verhandlungstisch aufgefordert. Zugleich verlangte Bush von Präsident Kim Jong Il in Santiago die Verschrottung der Atomwaffen seines Landes. Zuvor hatte sich Bush am Rande des APEC-Gipfels mit Chinas Präsidenten Hu Jintao für eine friedliche Beilegung des Atomstreits mit Nordkorea ausgesprochen. Wegen dessen Atompolitik richtete er auch eine scharfe Warnung an den Iran und sprach von einer «sehr ernsthaften Angelegenheit»
Also greift er jetzt an oder nicht...und wenn mit wem, Russland/Japan/Südkorea?
Ono, Rumsfeld agree on new security role
Defense chiefs begin laying groundwork for redefining bilateral alliance
>>WASHINGTON (Kyodo) The Japanese and U.S. defense chiefs agreed Friday there is a need to redefine the bilateral security alliance to share the roles the two countries play in dealing with terrorism and other new threats.
After meeting with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Defense Agency Director General Yoshinori Ono said he received a warm welcome over Japan's ongoing review on easing its weapons export ban in line with envisioned joint development of a ballistic missile defense system.
But a redefinition of the security alliance and review of the export ban are likely to draw criticism in Japan amid fear Tokyo will be drawn further into the U.S. global security strategy.
Ono said he even hinted at beginning consultations for revising the bilateral defense guideline. But he said Rumsfeld did not react as Ono expected, and their conversation did not go as far as discussing the issue.
The two defense chiefs also agreed there is a need to seek local support over the U.S. military realignment in Japan, Ono said, adding that he reiterated Japan's call for reducing the heavy U.S. military presence in Okinawa.
But there were no detailed discussions on Okinawa issue, he said.
Ono indicated to Rumsfeld that Japan plans to extend the deployment of the Self-Defense Forces in Iraq beyond Dec. 14, when the current mission expires.
He said the two shared concerns about China, referring to the recent intrusion of a Chinese submarine into Japanese waters and China's growing military power.
"The Japan-U.S. relationship is evolving into a global one," Ono said in summing up his meetings Friday with Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney and Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.
Ono said he told Rumsfeld that Japan is working to review its arms export ban toward easing it "from the standpoint of effective implementation of the Japan-U.S. security alliance," and to upgrade the SDF's international cooperation.
Rumsfeld described these processes as moving in a good direction, Ono said.
With Japan and the U.S. expected to bring their current joint research of a ballistic missile defense system into the development and production stage, Japan is acting to ease its ban on exporting weapons. Currently the only exception to the ban is technology transfers to the U.S.
As for the global U.S. military realignment, Ono said he and Rumsfeld agreed that the security situation in Asia remains tougher than in Europe. Ono said the U.S. defense chief acknowledged that less troops will be withdrawn from Asia than Europe among the 70,000 troops Washington plans to reduce abroad.
Ono told Rumsfeld he is dissatisfied with China's "unclear" explanations over the sub intrusion and expressed his concern over China's growing military budget.
On the Okinawa issue, Ono said he tried to have Rumsfeld clarify his recent comments expressing dissatisfaction about a planned relocation of the U.S. Marine Corps Futenma Air Station in the city of Ginowan to an offshore military-civilian airport to be built in the northern city of Nago because it will require at least 10 years.<<
