September 23, 2009 
 
On the evening of Sept. 21 (the morning of Sept. 22, Japan time), 
Prime Minister Hatoyama arrived in New York for his first overseas 
trip since taking office as prime minister. He met with Chinese 
President Hu Jintao right away at a hotel in the city on the same 
evening. He launched his diplomatic activities with a speech given 
at the opening ceremony of the high-level meeting on climate change 
hosted by the UN (climate change summit), which has brought together 
the leaders of more than 100 countries. 
 
Toshimitsu Maya, Yuji Yoshisugi, New York 
 
Prime Minister Hatoyama on the morning of Sept. 21 (the night of 
Sept. 22, Japan time) delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of 
the high-level meeting on climate change hosted by the UN (climate 
change summit) held at the UN Headquarters. During the speech he 
announced Japan's new mid-term goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions 
by 25 percent in comparison with the 1990 level by 2020. He also 
revealed his plan to look into setting up a tax to pay for steps 
against global warming, which is to be levied on CO2 emitters in 
proportion to the amount of emissions, to achieve that end.

Q Japan will aim to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent in 
comparison with the 1990 level by 2020. 
Q The commitment of Japan to the world is premised on agreement on 
ambitious targets by all the major countries. 
Q Japan is prepared to proactively extend financial and 
technological support to developing and island nations. 
Q Proposal to the international community of a "Hatoyama initiative" 
designed to support developing countries.

NIKKEI (Page 3) (Full) 
September 23, 2009 
 
As the prime minister of Japan following the change of 
administration, I will seek to join with the leaders of other 
countries in addressing current and future global climate change 
with due consideration for the warnings of science. 
 
The advanced countries need to take the lead in efforts to reduce 
emissions. Japan should also be actively involved in setting 
long-term reduction targets. As for the mid-term target, we will, in 
accordance with the standards urged by science, aim for a 25 percent 
reduction from the 1990 level by 2020. 
 
As we pledged in the manifesto for the recent House of 
Representatives election, we will mobilize all available policy 
tools, including the introduction of a domestic emission trading 
system and consideration of a global warming tax, to deliver on this 
pledge. However, climate change cannot be halted by Japan alone 
setting a high-reduction target. Our pledge to the international 
community is premised upon an agreement between all the advanced 
nations on ambitions targets. 
 
With regard to the market for domestic emission trading, we will 
promote exchange of information on the systems being contemplated by 
other countries and hold discussions, bearing in mind the impact on 
international competitiveness and linkage with other countries. 
 
Government funding of capital and technology transfers to developing 
countries is crucial. We believe that the following principles 
should apply in assistance to developing countries: (1) The public 
and private sectors in the developed countries should make 
additional financial contributions; (2) rules should be established 
for measuring the effect of aid; (3) innovative mechanisms should be 
implemented in a predictable manner; and (4) aid should also ensure 
the protection of intellectual property rights. I would like to 
present the above to the international community as the "Hatoyama 
Initiative." 
 
We would like to make every effort toward establishing a fair and 
effective undertaking and work for the success of COP15 in 
Copenhagen through the process of putting this initiative into 
effect. 
 
6) Prime minister proposes East Asia Community

Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama on the evening of Sept. 21 (the 
morning of Sept. 22, Japan time) met with Chinese President Hu 
Jintao in New York for the first time since taking office as prime 
minister. During the meeting he proposed an East Asia Community 
initiative. Both leaders agreed to press ahead with working-level 
talks to sign an agreement for the joint development of gas fields 
in the East China Sea. They also vowed to work together toward the 
denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. 
 
The East Asia Community that the prime minister envisions is an 
initiative that takes into consideration a framework of regional 
economic cooperation for the free movement of people, goods and 
money, and security. It symbolizes the prime minister's stance of 
attaching importance to Asia. He proposed to his Chinese 
counterpart, "I would like Japan and China build trust that goes 
beyond the differences between the two countries and establish the 
initiative based on that." 
 
The East Asia Community Intuitive was incorporated in the Democratic 
Party of Japan's election manifesto, but it was considered to be 
anti-American. Coordination of views with the U.S. and other 
countries will be indispensable for the materialization of the 
Initiative. 
 
Regarding the issue of the Japanese view of wartime history, the 
prime minister said that he would follow the precedent of the 
Murayama statement of 1995, in which Japan offered an apology for 
its colonial rule and invasion of China. The president responded by 
saying, "I highly appreciate that." 
 
Hatoyama urged Hu that both countries should begin working toward 
signing an agreement for the joint development of the gas fields. Hu 
indicated his stance of paving the way for launching the activity, 
saying, "I would like to build trust through working-level talks."

(Japan-China relations) 
 
Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama: I would like to make the two 
countries' strategic and mutually beneficial relationship more 
substantial. 
 
Chinese President Hu Jintao: The Japan-China relationship is one of 
the most important bilateral relationships. I want to propose (1) an 
increase in visits by high-level officials of the two countries, (2) 
the strengthening and developing of economic and trade cooperation, 
(3) improvement in the public perceptions (of each country), (4) 
promotion of cooperation on Asian and internal issues, and (5) 
resolution of differences in views in an appropriate manner. 
 
Hatoyama: I want to build a relationship of trust between Japan and 
China and on the basis of that relationship to create an East Asian 
community. I will adhere to the 1995 Murayama statement. 
 
Hu: Cooperation between Japan and China is important for the Asian 
region. I highly value your position of observing the Murayama 
statement.

(Gas exploration in the East China Sea) 
 
Hatoyama: I would like to transform the troubled waters of the East 
China Sea into a sea of fraternity. 
 
Hu: The agreement (on joint development by Japan and China) made 
last year is significant. I propose the launch of working-level 
meetings in the near future. 
 
(North Korean issue) 
 
Hatoyama: I cannot allow North Korea to develop nuclear weapons and 
ballistic missiles. The Japanese people hold strong views on the 
abduction issue. 
 
Hu: China has urged (North Korea) to improve relations with Japan, 
including the abduction issue. 
 
(Global warming issue) 
 
Hu: I welcome your positive attitude. China, too, will make efforts 
for the success of the Conference of Parties (COP) to the United 
Nations Framework of Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). 
 
8) Okada, Clinton agree to strengthen alliance

Naoya Yoshino, New York 
 
Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada met with U.S. Secretary of State 
Clinton in New York on the evening of Sept. 21 (early on the morning 
of Sept. 22, Japan time) and agreed to strengthen the bilateral 
alliance between Japan and the United States. In addition, they also 
discussed issues related to the planned realignment of U.S. forces 
in Japan, including the relocation of Futenma airfield in Ginowan, 
Okinawa Prefecture. On this issue, Okada proposed reviewing the 
realignment plan. Clinton clarified the U.S. government's basic 
understanding, taking the position that U.S. forces in Japan should 
be realigned as planned. They agreed to discuss the realignment 
issue between the two countries. 
 
"Our alliance is a cornerstone of the United States' diplomacy," 
Clinton said at the beginning of the meeting." She added, "I'd like 
to make efforts to deepen and strengthen our alliance in order to 
pursue our common values." Okada responded, "We'd like to make our 
alliance sustainable for the next 30 to 50 years." 
 
Okada also brought up the planned relocation of Futenma airfield in 
Okinawa Prefecture. "The Democratic Party of Japan has questions 
about it," Okada said. He added, "My government will study specific 
measures." Clinton indicated that the basic policy would be to 
translate the current plan into action. However, she also told Okada 
that the United States was prepared to discuss the matter. 
 
Concerning Afghan reconstruction assistance, Okada insisted on 
Japan's role in the area of civilian assistance as an alternative 
for Japan to take on after discontinuing the Maritime Self-Defense 
Force's refueling mission in the Indian Ocean. "It's also necessary 
to provide job training to people who used to be Taliban members,"

U.S. foreign ministers agree to strengthen bilateral alliance

Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada held talks in New York with U.S. 
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for about 45 minutes on the 
afternoon of Sept. 21 (the morning of Sept. 22, Japan time). Clinton 
categorically said that the United States' alliance with Japan is a 
cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy. In response, Okada said that he 
wants to build a Japan-U.S. alliance sustainable for the next 30 to 
50 years. The two leaders reaffirmed a policy direction to continue 
reinforcing the bilateral alliance. At the outset of the meeting, 
Clinton expressed a stance to effectively accept (the new Japanese 
government's decision) to terminate the Maritime Self-Defense 
Force's refueling mission in the Indian Ocean by saying to the press 
corps, "The relationship between Japan and the United States is so 
broad and so deep that there isn't any one issue that defines it." 
 
The Okada-Clinton meeting took place ahead of the Sept. 23 talks 
between Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama and President Barack Obama. 
 
About Japan's support for Afghanistan as an alternative to the 
refueling mission, Okada said, "Japan wants to play an active role 
in the civilian sector." Clinton welcomed Okada's statement, saying, 
"We highly appreciate Japan's assistance to police officers (in 
Afghanistan)." The two leaders also agreed on the importance of 
reconstruction assistance for Afghanistan and Pakistan. Referring to 
the realignment of U.S. forces in Japan, Okada said, "There are some 
issues the Democratic Party of Japan has not supported." Okada 
conveyed a plan to hold fresh discussions on the matter after 
indirectly touching on the question of relocating the U.S. Marine 
Corps' Futenma Air Station (in Ginowan, Okinawa Prefecture) outside 
the prefecture. Clinton simply replied: "The basic idea is to 
realize the current plan and that is important. We would like to 
continue discussing security issues with Japan." 
 
Clinton also indicated that the U.S. government will continue 
addressing the issue of (Japanese nationals) abducted by North 
Korea. "There will be no talks on normalizing diplomatic ties 
between Japan and North Korea unless the nuclear, missile, and 
abduction issues are settled," Okada said. Okada stopped short of 
referring to a plan to investigate the alleged Japan-U.S. secret 
pact on the introduction of nuclear weapons into Japan.

(Japan-U.S. alliance) 
 
Secretary of State Clinton: The Japan-U.S. alliance is a cornerstone 
of Washington's foreign policy and is indispensable to the security 
and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region. I hope we will further 
develop and strengthen the historically strong bonds of our 
partnership.

Foreign Minister Okada: I want to establish a deeper bilateral 
relationship sustainable for the next 30 to 50 years 
 
 
(Assistance to Afghanistan) 
 
Clinton and Okada agreed on the view that the task of reconstructing 
and stabilizing Afghanistan and Pakistan is a top priority challenge 
that will affect our efforts to eliminate terrorism and maintain 
global stability. 
 
Okada: Japan would like to consider the Afghanistan issue its own 
problem and play a proactive role in public welfare and other 
areas. 
 
(U.S. force realignment) 
 
Okada: The government will work out specific measures to deal with 
such issues as U.S. military bases and the realignment of U.S. 
forces in Okinawa. I hope that the two countries will jointly 
address these issues in close cooperation. 
 
Clinton: It is fundamental and important for the two countries to 
implement the current plans agreed on between them. We should 
discuss issues that will affect national security and the Japan-U.S. 
alliance. 
 
(Climate change) 
 
Clinton and Okada shared the view that climate change is an urgent 
key issue and that it is necessary for Japan and the U.S. to take 
the initiative in international discussions on this issue. 
 
11) Japanese, U.S. foreign ministers agree to discuss U.S. force 
realignment in future

Kei Ukai, New York 
 
Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada held his first talks with U.S. 
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in New York on Sept. 21. The two 
leaders confirmed the importance of the Japan-U.S. alliance. They 
also agreed that the two countries will discuss in the future the 
realignment of U.S. forces in Japan, which Okada regards as his top 
priority for his first 100 days in office. 
 
"The Democratic Party of Japan has some questions. We want to 
discuss the matter after examining it concretely," Okada said about 
the realignment of U.S. forces in Japan, including Futenma Air 
Station in Okinawa, according to a Japanese source. A U.S. source 
quoted Clinton as replying, "There is an existing plan, but we would 
be glad to respond to any questions the Japanese government has." 
Okada said that Clinton's stance was not obstinate. 
 
Clinton indicated that the effects of the Hatoyama administration's 
policy not to simply extend the refueling mission in the Indian 
Ocean would be limited, saying, "The relationship between the United 
States and Japan is so broad and so deep that there isn't any one 
issue that defines it." Okada told Clinton that the Japanese 
 
TOKYO 00002216  008 OF 009 
 
 
government is considering offering civilian aid to Afghanistan. 
 
"There will be no normalization talks unless the abduction, nuclear, 
and missile issues are settled properly," Okada also said regarding 
the North Korean issue. Clinton promised that the United States will 
support the Japanese government regarding the abduction issue. Okada 
did not bring up the issue of purported Japan-U.S. secret pacts, 
according to an informed source. 
 
12) Japan faces tough issues at first meeting between FM Okada, 
Secretary of State Clinton 
 
SANKEI (Page 5) (Full)

Ken Kasahara 
 
At his meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Foreign 
Minister Katsuya Okada indicated his intention to deepen the 
Japan-U.S. alliance, but he is already facing such tough issues as 
U.S. Forces Japan (USFJ) realignment and alternative contributions 
to replace the refueling mission in the Indian Ocean in case of its 
discontinuation. 
 
During the meeting Okada was expected to mention the "secret nuclear 
agreement" allowing U.S. ships carrying nuclear arms to call at 
Japanese ports. However, he gave priority to enhancing the 
relationship of trust between the two countries and refrained from 
touching on this issue because, according to a source familiar with 
Japan-U.S. relations, "the U.S. has already made its documents 
public. Whether documents exist in Japan is a Japanese internal 
issue." 
 
Okada has presented a "100-day plan" according to which he will work 
on the following three issues in the first 100 days of the 
administration: (1) USFJ realignment, including the relocation of 
the Futenma Air Station; (2) aid to Afghanistan and Pakistan; and 
(3) climate change. The plan demonstrates great enthusiasm for 
rebuilding the Japan-U.S. relationship. After charting a direction 
for policy based on this plan, he intends to work on redefining of 
the Japan-U.S. security alliance in the 300 days until the House of 
Councillors election next summer. 
 
The success of this effort depends on the realignment of U.S. 
military bases and the question of the refueling mission. 
 
Okada and Clinton confirmed at their meeting that discussions on 
issues related to the realignment of U.S. bases will continue, but 
Japan has yet to clarify its position. Proposals to merge the 
Futenma base with the U.S. Air Force's Kadena Air Base or to revise 
the plan to build a Futenma replacement facility off the coast of 
Camp Schwab are under review in the government and the ruling 
parties. If the Futenma facility is to be moved out of Okinawa, the 
government will face many difficult issues including the employment 
of Japanese base workers and negotiations with a local government 
willing to host the new facility. 
 
On the other hand, if the Hatoyama administration ends the refueling 
mission in the Indian Ocean, the U.S. is certain to demand 
alternative contributions. The government plans to draw up proposals 
for these, such as providing vocational training, agricultural 
instruction, and other civilian aid measures, before President 
 
TOKYO 00002216  009 OF 009 
 
 
Barack Obama's visit to Japan in November. Okada believes that the 
withdrawal of the Self-Defense Forces (SDF) (from the Indian Ocean) 
will not be a problem because "the U.S. has not actually asked for 
an expanding commitment of SDF troops to Afghanistan." However, it 
is unclear how the Obama administration will assess this. 
 
Instead of rebuilding the Japan-U.S. relationship, there is even the 
possibility that the relationship may deteriorate.

nuclear issue

Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada held a strategic meeting with U.S. 
Secretary of State Clinton and Australian Foreign Minister Smith in 
New York on the evening of Sept. 21 (on the morning of Sept. 22, 
Japan time). During the meeting, the three discussed the issue of 
Iran's nuclear development programs and agreed on the importance of 
aiming for a solution to the issue through dialogue in line with the 
Obama administration's policy. In addition, they confirmed a course 
of action to put stronger pressure on Iran, taking the position that 
Iran should be well aware of the issue and make serious efforts to 
resolve it. 
 
On the issue of North Korea's nuclear and missile development 
programs, Okada and his U.S. and Australian counterparts confirmed 
that their governments will call on United Nations members to 
strictly implement U.N. Security Council resolutions that 
incorporate cargo inspections of North Korean and other foreign 
ships heading to and from North Korea. 
 
14) Secret deal is Japanese domestic issue: Campbell

When asked by reporters at a press conference on Sept. 21 whether 
the Hatoyama administration would disclose the alleged secret 
agreement on nuclear introduction between Japan and the United 
States, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State (for East Asian and 
Pacific affairs) Kurt Campbell said, "It is up to the Japanese 
government to decide how the issue is handled. It is a domestic 
issue for Japan." Pointing out that the United States has already 
disclosed the documents on the pact, he stated, "It is part of the 
diplomacy between Japan and the United States in the Cold War era.
