US Secretary of Defense, Mr James Mattis told PM Abe that the US-Japan Security Treaty, ARTICLE V [1] is applied to Senkaku Islands. Mr.James Mattis is currently visiting Tokyo. Coming Feb/10, PM Abe will meet President Trump with nice souvenir, i.e., huge amount of investiment in US.<br /><br />[1] US-Japan Security Treaty, ARTICLE V<br />Each Party recognizes that an armed attack against either Party in the territories under the administration of Japan would be dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger in accordance with its constitutional provisions and processes. Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall be immediately reported to the Security Council of the United Nations in accordance with the provisions of Article 51 of the Charter. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.<br /><br />Regards<br />SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-25259989386308931442017-02-05T14:58:17.877+11:002017-02-05T14:58:17.877+11:00Hi Pete

So, following sentencse in the comment (3/2/17 10:02 PM) should be deleted. “Japanese government and JMSDF have been longing this statement, but former US administration hesitated involvement of US in the Senkaku.”<br /><br />Regards<br />S<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-35983658783392862072017-02-04T15:32:14.088+11:002017-02-04T15:32:14.088+11:00Hi S
