MAINICHI (Page 2) (Abridged slightly) 
July 1, 2008 
 
An outline of the draft declaration on global warming to be adopted 
at the July G-8 Lake Toya summit was unveiled yesterday. The 
declaration would have the G-8 members share the global target of 
halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and press developing 
countries, as well. Specifying the need for R&D, the declaration 
calls for the creation of an international framework for promotion 
 
TOKYO 00001795  003 OF 009 
 
 
and development of technology. In last year's Heiligendamm summit, 
Japan proposed the long-term target of halving greenhouse gases by 
2050, which made the summit declaration a subject of serious 
consideration. Thinking that a common goal is necessary for the 
entire world to combat global warming, the government intends to 
include the same target in this year's G-8 summit declaration. The 
United States, however, is reluctant to agree to Japan's idea, 
saying that major emitters that are not G-8 members, such as China 
and India, should also share the target. Final coordination is 
underway. 
 
To achieve the target, the draft declaration also highlights the 
need to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology and 
innovative solar power generation. The International Energy Agency 
(IEA) and each country will aim at the target by sharing a long-term 
technological development roadmap. Coordination is underway for a 
plan to spend 10 billion dollars annually on the development fund. 
 
An agreement is also mentioned on the need to set a total volume to 
be reduced by capping G-8 members' emissions. The draft declaration 
also refers to a Japan-proposed sector-specific approach to reducing 
greenhouse gas emissions as an effective means. 
 
4) Nikkei poll: 67 PERCENT  hail Fukuda's global warming vision 
 
NIKKEI (Page 2) (Full) 
July 1, 2008 
 
In a Nikkei opinion poll conducted on June 27-29 regarding Prime 
Minister Yasuo Fukuda's global warming countermeasures (Fukuda 
Vision), positive views added up to 67 PERCENT , far greater than 
the negative views that stood at 19 PERCENT  in total. By party, 76 
PERCENT  of LDP supporters gave a positive assessment to the Fukuda 
Vision. Among DPJ supporters, too, positive views totaled 60 PERCENT 
. 
 
By age, positive views among people in their thirties were the 
highest at 81 PERCENT , followed by those in their twenties at 70 
PERCENT , and those in their forties and fifties at 69 PERCENT 
each. 
 
The Fukuda Vision includes a long-term target of reducing greenhouse 
gas emissions by 60 PERCENT -80 PERCENT  from current levels by 
ΒΆ2050. 
 
4) G-8 to discuss 13-nation framework, proposed by Britain and 
France; Japan under pressure about China 
 
5) SANKEI (Top play) (Excerpts) 
July 1, 2008 
 
In the Group of Eight Lake Toya summit scheduled to open on July 7, 
the option of expanding the present G-8 framework to a G-13 
structure to include five newly industrializing countries -- China, 
India, Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa -- will formally be 
discussed, it was learned yesterday. The step is in line with the 
wishes of Britain and France, which have been calling for an 
expanded framework. Japan, which is alarmed at China's greater 
influence, finds it necessary to respond to the call. Even if the 
G-8 summit fails to make a decision, a course might be set for a 
13-nation framework. Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda is likely to be 
pressed for a difficult decision. 
 
TOKYO 00001795  004 OF 009 
 
 
 
The idea of expanding the G-8 framework to a G-13 structure came 
from French President Nicolas Sarkozy during his India tour in 
January this year. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown soon echoed 
his idea. The reason is because global issues, such as climate 
change, poverty, and international trading, cannot be dealt with 
sufficiently unless the five emerging economies, such as China and 
India, are not made into formal summit members. 
 
Japan has been reluctant to accept the idea. In his meeting with 
Prime Minister Fukuda in Rome on June 3, President Sarkozy directly 
made a proposal on expanding the G-8. Fukuda rebutted the idea, 
saying: "The G-8 summit is a venue for a small number of top leaders 
sharing heavy international responsibility to frankly exchange 
views." 
 
Japan takes pride as the only summit member in Asia and fears that 
its influence might waver. Japan especially does not want to allow 
China to become a formal summit member. 
 
6) Fukuda asks Ban for cooperation in resolving abduction issue, 
cutting greenhouse gas emissions 
 
ASAHI (Page 4) (Full) 
July 1, 2008 
 
In a meeting yesterday, Prime Minister Fukuda and United Nations 
Secretary General Ban Ki Moon exchanged views on the North Korean 
nuclear issue. Ban said: "It is progress that North Korea produced a 
declaration of its nuclear programs and destroyed the cooling tower 
at its main atomic reactor." In response, Fukuda said: "In an effort 
to denuclearize North Korea quickly, we will continue to make 
efforts in cooperation with the countries concerned." He also asked 
Ban for cooperation in resolving the issue of North Korea's past 
abductions of Japanese citizens. 
 
On the climate change issue, which will be high on the agenda at the 
upcoming Lake Toya Summit in Hokkaido, Fukuda stressed the need to 
create a new international framework to reduce greenhouse gas 
emissions that also involves China and India, in addition to the 
industrialized countries, and called for UN cooperation. On a 
mid-term goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Fukuda said: 
"Japan also thinks it is necessary to set a mid-term goal." Ban 
remarked: "I highly appreciate Japan's 'low-carbon society' 
vision." 
 
Further, Fukuda stressed it is necessary to quickly reform the UN 
Security Council (UNSC). Japan is eager to become permanent member 
on the UNSC. Fukuda called on Ban to display leadership on this 
issue.

Prime Minister Fukuda met with visiting United Nations Secretary 
General Ban Ki Moon at his official residence yesterday. There, 
Fukuda formally announced that Japan would dispatch Self-Defense 
Force (SDF) officers to the Headquarters of the UN Mission (UNMIS) 
for peacekeeping operations (PKO) in southern Sudan. The government

plans to send about 2 personnel based on the UN PKO Law. It intends 
to dispatch a survey team to Sudan in July to start full-scale 
preparations. 
 
Fukuda also revealed Japan's plans to (1) send SDF personnel as 
lecturers to strengthen the functions of PKO training centers in 
Africa; and (2) provide extend the PKO training center in Malaysia 
with one million dollars in financial aid. 
 
Ban lauded Fukuda's policy plans and expressed his appreciation.

dispatch to UNMIS

Prime Minister Fukuda yesterday formally announced that Japan will 
send Self-Defense Force (SDF) personnel to the Headquarters of the 
United Nations Mission (UNMIS). The announcement at this time stems 
from a desire to demonstrate, ahead of the Lake Toya Summit in 
Hokkaido, Japan's willingness to make efforts to bring about peace 
into Africa in accordance with its pledge to make the nation a 
"peace cooperation state". 
 
When he met with Fukuda yesterday, visiting United Nations Secretary 
General Ban Ki Moon praised Japan's decision on the dispatch of SDF 
personnel to peacekeeping operations (PKO) in Sudan and then 
expressed his hope for Japan's further international contributions. 
Ban said: "Japan's positive response to PKO has encouraged us. We 
would be grateful if Japan boosts SDF's contributions in the fields 
of airlift, ground transportation, and shipment of supplies." 
 
The government plans to send about two SDF personnel to Sudan. Among 
the Group of Eight (G-8) members, several countries, including 
Russia and Germany, have dispatched troops to UNMIS. The numbers of 
their troops are far larger than that under Japan's plan. But a 
person concerned said: "If Japan continues to refrain from sending 
even one SDF personnel despite its emphasis of the pro-Africa 
policy, it would not worth talking about it. Even if the number is 
several, it will be far better than Japan sending none." 
 
In the government, difficult coordination continued until the last 
moment. The Defense Ministry has been cautious about the dispatch 
plan, while the Foreign Ministry has been positive. The Defense 
Ministry cites these reasons for its opposition: (1) There is 
concern for security; and (2) it is undecided what duty will be 
assigned to SDF officers to be dispatched. When Chief Cabinet 
Secretary Machimura, Foreign Minister Koumura, and Defense Minister 
Ishiba met on June 25, too, the defense minister voiced opposition 
to the plan. 
 
The SDF officers to be dispatched are expected to engage in 
administering database at the headquarters. A Defense Ministry 
official grumbled: "Is this kind of work worth for SDF personnel to 
do in Sudan?" The ministry is still unwilling to dispatch SDF 
personnel to Sudan. 
 
9) Coordination of reinvestigating of abductions still underway, 
says premier

Referring to the reinvestigation into the abduction issue North 
Korea has pledged, Prime Minister Fukuda yesterday evening said, 
"Full coordination of views on how to conduct an investigation has 
yet to take place. There may be various ways, but this is something 
I will reveal after consultations." The prime minister made this 
statement at the Kantei in response to a question from a reporter. 
 
10) Advisor Nakayama caught between pressure and dialogue approaches 
to North Korea

Since Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda is now shifting the government's 
North Korea policy to attaching importance to dialogue with North 
Korea, Kyoko Nakayama, advisor to the prime minister on the 
abduction issue, who has pushed ahead with a policy of applying 
pressure on the DPRK, is now in a tough position. She enjoys the 
confidence of the families of victims kidnapped by North Korea, who 
have called on the government to maintain a hard-line stance against 
Pyongyang. She, however, must support the Fukuda cabinet. She thus 
finds herself caught between the families of the abductees and the 
Fukuda cabinet. 
 
In a gathering calling for a resolution of the abduction issue held 
on June 29 in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, some family 
members of the abductees criticized the government for supporting 
the U.S. government's decision to start the process of delisting 
North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism. Shigeo Iizuka, 
representative of the Association of the Families of Victims 
Kidnapped by North Korea, said: "I can't feel that there is any 
enthusiasm (for resolving the abduction issue)." 
 
Nakayama, who took part in the gathering, then had to explain the 
government position, saying: "There is no change in the Japanese 
government's policy of rescuing all the victims. I will continue to 
do my best for bringing an early resolution to the abduction 
issue." 
 
Nakayama assumed the post of Cabinet Secretariat councilor in 
September 2002, when the first meeting between Prime Minister 
Junichiro Koizumi and North Korean leader Kim Jong Il was held. 
After leaving the Kantei for a while, she then returned to assume 
her current post in September 2006. When then Chief Cabinet 
Secretary General Fukuda tried to return five repatriated abductees 
to North Korea, she and then Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo 
Abe prevented it. Since then, she has built a relationship of trust 
with the families of abductees. 
 
11) GSDF lost CPX layout plan, failed to report fact to defense 
minister, USFJ

In February last year, a Ground Self-Defense Force lieutenant 
colonel at the time with the Intelligence Department of GSDF Middle 
Army Headquarters in Hyogo Prefecture's Itami City lost a USB memory 
device that contained a layout plan for GSDF and U.S. Army troops in 
a command post exercise (CPX), sources have revealed. The lost USB 
 
TOKYO 00001795  007 OF 009 
 
 
device contained CPX information, such as where to position U.S. 
military helicopters and tanks. GSDF Chief of Staff Ryoichi Oriki, 
who was the then commanding general of the GSDF Middle Army, and 
other brass officers covered up the loss of the USB drive, and he 
did not report it to then Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma or the United 
States. 
 
"I decided to keep it private at my own judgment," Oriki explained. 
"But," he added, "I think I should have reported it to the United 
States." In March last year, after Aegis ship data leaks were 
brought to light, the United States reportedly filed a protest with 
Japan. One U.S. source was quoted as saying, "We don't know why 
Japan, which is our ally, cannot understand the importance of 
classified information." The GSDF went so far as to cover up the 
fact. The focus will be on how the United States will react to the 
problem this time. 
 
The bilateral joint CPX drill was conducted at the GSDF's Itami 
garrison in the city of Itami on Feb. 8-16 last year with the 
participation of about 4,800 troops from the GSDF and the U.S. 
Army's 1st Corps from the U.S. Its specifics have not been made 
public. 
 
According to an informed source, the USB device contained 
information not open to the public, such as the anticipated enemy 
and its scale, and where U.S. military tanks and helicopters would 
be positioned. On or around Feb. 14 last year, during the joint CPX 
drill, a lieutenant colonel handed the USB device to a master 
sergeant. The master sergeant left the USB device on a desk and went 
home. The next day, the master sergeant found it missing when he 
came to his office. GSDF police searched for the lost device but 
could not find it. 
 
The USB device's data was in the category of "chui" or "handle with 
care." Even if information under this category is leaked, it is not 
subject to criminal punishment and is not required to be reported to 
the defense minister. However, the GSDF did not check whether the 
information related to U.S. forces with the U.S. Army. There is no 
knowing if it was appropriate to designate the information as 
"handle with care" only, the source said. Furthermore, USFJ leaked a 
similar CPX layout plan on the Internet in 2000. Japan filed a 
protest with the United States. USFJ later deleted it. Given this 
fact, the GSDF is believed to have covered up the loss of the USB 
device, for the GSDF brass was aware that the lost information was 
critical. 
 
Information under the category of "handle with care" is not subject 
to reporting requirements. However, a senior official of the Defense 
Ministry noted: "We have no permission from the United States to 
make public the USB device's information. In light of the bilateral 
alliance, we should report it to the defense minister and the United 
States. I'm doubtful whether it was appropriate to designate it in 
the handle-with-care category. It can't be helped if they say we 
covered up the fact." 
 
12) USFJ population unveiled

The Defense Ministry yesterday announced the number of those 
attached to U.S. Forces across Japan. USFJ annually reports the 
 
TOKYO 00001795  008 OF 009 
 
 
number of its personnel dwelling in Japan as a measure to prevent 
crimes involving U.S. military personnel. As of the end of March, 
they total 99,295, broken down into 49,364 service members, 45,753 
family members or dependents, and 4,178 civilian employees. Those 
living off base number 4,808, an increase of 2,923. 
 
By municipality, Okinawa Prefecture's Okinawa City, which has a 
population of approximately 133,000, has the largest USFJ population 
at 13,975, followed by Kanagawa Prefecture's Yokosuka City (with a 
population of approx. 422,000) at 12,152, and Aomori Prefecture's 
Misawa City (with a population of approx. 43,000) at 7,316. 
 
13) Soaring food prices: Russia to ease export restrictions probably 
with G-8 in mind 
 
ASAHI (Top Play) (Excerpts)

Food-exporting countries are beginning to ease restrictions of food 
exports, which are considered as one factor contributing to the 
surging food prices. Russia, the only country among Group of Eight 
nations that has restricted exports, will ease an export tax imposed 
on flour and barley, starting on July 1. Ukraine and Vietnam have 
also decided to abolish restrictions or resume exports. Their policy 
switch is due to an outlook for good harvest. However, it is also 
viewed that their decisions are motivated by the desire to stave off 
criticism, because the soaring food prices are expected to be a main 
item on the G-8 agenda. 
 
Ukraine, Vietnam follow suit 
 
Following the sharp rise in grain prices, Russia imposed an export 
tax of 10 PERCENT  on flour and 30 PERCENT  on barley. In January 
this year it raised the tax rate on flour exports to 40 PERCENT . 
However, since it expects abundant crop this year, Agriculture 
Minister Gordeyev has recently indicated an outlook that an export 
tax on grain would not be extended after July 1. 
 
The Japanese government has confirmed the Russian government's 
policy. However, the Foreign Ministry Russian Division noted that 
whether Russia would scrap all export taxes or just lower tax rates 
is not known. 
 
According to press reports from Ukraine, that nation had adopted 
export quotas for flour and barley since last fall. However, it in 
late May decided to abolish such. The Japanese Foreign Ministry 
noted that it had already decided the policy at a cabinet meeting 
and the government gazette reported the decision. The reason for the 
policy switch is that good harvest for grain is expected. 
 
Prime Minister Dung of Vietnam, the second-largest rice exporting 
country in the world, in mid-June notified grain traders of the 
government decision to resume exports. The nation had placed a ban 
on grain exports, excluding a government-contracted amount, due to 
damage caused by disease and pest. It has allowed traders to sign 
exports contracts for up to 3.5 million tons until the third quarter 
this year. Exports are to be actually resumed in July. 
 
Regarding global market share in flour exports, Russia accounts for 
11 PERCENT  (estimate for 2007-2008), ranking third in the world. 
Ukraine accounts for 1 PERCENT  (estimate for the same period). 
Vietnam's share in rice exports is 17 PERCENT  (estimate for the 
 
TOKYO 00001795  009 OF 009 
 
 
same period). 
 
14) Poll: 42 PERCENT  of Tokyo residents satisfy Ishihara 
government, first drop to below 50 PERCENT 
 
TOKYO SHIMBUN (Page 1) (Full)

The Tokyo metropolitan government revealed yesterday that 42 PERCENT 
, a 9.4 points drop from the result of the poll conducted the 
previous year, said that they were satisfied with the management of 
Gov. Shintaro Ishihara in a questionnaire survey it had conducted 
toward 500 residents through Internet as to how they assessed the 
metropolitan government. It was the first time drop to below 50 
PERCENT  for the Ishihara metropolitan government since it was 
inaugurated in 1999. Among the 58 PERCENT  of respondents who were 
unhappy with the metropolitan government, a largest number of the 
respondents cited the issue of Ishihara putting additional 40 
billion yen in ShinGinko Tokyo as a main reason. The metropolitan 
government conducts an annual monitoring research, selecting men and 
women from the Tokyo residents. This year, it carried out the survey 
in May through Internet and 488 residents replied to the 
questioners. 
 
According to the metropolitan government, 1.8 PERCENT  said they 
were happy with the recent metropolitan government and 40.2 PERCENT 
answered that they were more or less happy with it, while 10.5 
PERCENT  replied that they were unhappy with it and 47.5 PERCENT 
said that they were more or less unhappy with it. In the 2000 
survey, 74.6 PERCENT , the highest rate ever, said that they were 
satisfied with the Ishihara metropolitan government. 
 
The respondents who were unhappy with the Ishihara government said 
that they saw the additional investment in ShinGinko Tokyo as a 
problem, with one saying: "Tokyo residents' tax money was wasted." 
Another said: "(Ishihara) should stop evading responsibility." 
 
Some highly valued Ishihara's strong leadership, while one 
respondent said: "I now feel his arrogance that I felt as his 
creativeness when he assumed office." The respondents split into 
those for and against the metropolitan government's decision to hold 
the Olympic Games in 2016. 
 
Toward the question about what they paid most attention to in the 
past one year, 51.8 PERCENT  cited the additional investment in 
ShinGinko Tokyo, followed by the Tokyo marathon event, and effort to 
promotion of internationalization of Haneda Airport.
