Noda urges deepening alliance with US

Sunday, March 18, 2012 Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has expressed concern over the military activities of China and North Korea. He also called for deepening the alliance with the United States.Noda delivered a speech at a graduation ceremony of the National Defense Academy in Yokosuka, south of Tokyo, on Sunday. Noda said the environment surrounding Japan is increasingly severe and complex, brimming with the lack of transparency. He cited North Korean actions, including the issue of its missiles, and China’s military buildup and intensified activities in waters off Japan. Japan prime minister stressed the need to defend the nation and protect its people under such a situation. He urged the graduating students to fulfill their duties of national defense. Noda also referred to the efforts of US forces in Japan following last year’s earthquake and tsunami. He said the US military made tremendous contributions with its “Operation Tomodachi”, meaning “friend”. He said the operation made him feel the strong bond of the Japan-US alliance.Noda said the alliance with the US must be deepened and developed, and he asked the prospective officers of the Japan Self Defense Forces to support the effort in their posts. Except for students from abroad, 372 students graduated from the National Academy this year. Four, or the smallest number of students since 1973, refused to join the Self Defense Forces. The academy said the main factor behind the small figure is the increased reputation of the Self Defense Forces due to the relief operation following last year’s disaster in northeast Japan.

Activist pastor Joachim Gauck was elected German president

Activist pastor Joachim Gauck was elected German president by majority Sunday, paving way the first time a candidate from the former communist east to be head of state. Gauck, 72, claimed 991 votes out of 1,232 from a special assembly of MPs and other dignitaries, parliamentary speaker Norbert Lammert said, against prominent Nazi hunter Beate Klarsfeld, 73, who was nominated as a protest candidate by the far-left party Die Linke. "What a beautiful Sunday," Gauck said to enthusiastic applause from the chamber of the glass-domed Reichstag parliament building in central Berlin after the vote.This is the third presidential election in three years for Germany after the abrupt resignations of Gauck's two predecessors. the third presidential election in three years for Germany after the abrupt resignations of Gauck's two predecessors.Gauck helped drive the peaceful revolution that brought down communist East Germany and later fought to ensure that the public would be granted access to the vast stash of files left behind by the despised Stasi secret police after reunification in 1990. He oversaw the archive for the next decade. In a short acceptance speech, he noted that his election fell on the 22nd anniversary of the first free elections in East Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall the previous November."After 26 years of dictatorship we were finally able to become citizens," he said. "I knew then that I would never miss another election."
