Japan reveals secret nuclear pact with US
Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:37:44 GMT
Japanese people have been protesting against US military bases in Japan for years.Japan has verified the existence of a secret nuclear pact with the United States that allows US forces to bring nuclear weapons into the country.
Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada said on Tuesday that a panel of experts confirmed the existence of the pact after examining thousands of documents over a period of months.
From the 1960s, Japan has allowed the United States to deploy nuclear weapons on the southern island of Okinawa, the panel said.
Japan's previous governments had always denied the existence of such secret agreements.
However, Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama's government, which came to power six months ago, has adopted less US-friendly policies.
Yet Hatoyama says he believes the nuclear deterrence is necessary to maintain regional security.
In its calls for total nuclear disarmament, Japan has always emphasized its status as the only country to have been attacked with nuclear weapons.

日媒稱日本承認在1969年與美國曾簽署核密約

據路透社援引《日本經濟新聞》24日報道，日本承認在1969年曾與美國簽署了一份核密約，根據該協議，美國可以在緊急情況下，在日本南部部署核武器。
該協議或將日本政府置於兩難處境，迫使日本要麼與其最大安全同盟美國解約，要麼放寬日本堅持的“不擁有、不生產、不運進核武器”的“無核三原則”。
《日本經濟新聞》2稱，美國與日本經協商簽署了該協議，協議允許美國在沖繩島部署核武器，而駐日美軍基地大多設立於此。
日本外務省官員尚未對此進行置評。
日本政府支持的一學者小組調查了被前幾屆政府塵封數年的外務省密約，預計下月將發布相關調查報告，《日本經濟新聞》上述報導即引自這一報告的草案。
該小組自去年8月鳩山由紀夫就任日本首相后開始進行此項調查。
一名分析人士表示，鳩山應廢除此項密約，但鑒於美國和日本今年將重新審視兩國同盟關系，核保護傘問題很可能會引發爭論。
日本亞洲論壇(Asian Forum Japan)研究主管Katsuhiko Nakamura表示：“在探討鞏固美日同盟關系前，美國會希望日本在‘無核三原則’等問題上立場更為明確。”
