Kaifu to visit U S for strong Japan ties
Japan's new prime minister Toshiki Kaifu plans a Washington visit to meet President Bush next month to reinforce U S Japan relations. Kaifu, 58, inaugurated with a 20 member cabinet that includes two women, and aims to attend international meetings to address leadership gaps after resignations in the Liberal Democratic Party. His confirmation came in a Diet Lower House vote, as the LDP maintains a strong majority.
