Obama Says US Bases Pact In Japan's Interest, Will Continue



TOKYO (AFP)--U.S. President Barack Obama thinks a pact on U.S. military bases in Japan, now under review by a new government in Tokyo, serves Japan's interest and will continue, he said in an interview broadcast Tuesday.

"I'm confident that once the review is completed they will conclude that the alliance that we have, the base arrangements that have been discussed, all those things, serve the interest of Japan and that they will continue," Obama told broadcaster NHK in an interview ahead of his Tokyo visit this week.
