JAPAN: Prime Minister makes Washington debut
Updated
Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda is making his American debut, with his first visit to Washington since taking office in September. Mr Fukuda will spend little more than a day with President George W.Bush, but Tokyo is hoping that will be enough time to consolidate Japan's alliance with the U-S. And he'll need all the time he can get as Mr Fukuda tries to overcome growing domestic opposition to supporting U-S coalition forces in Afghanistana.
