Japan's Kyodo News report quoted diplomatic sources
that Japan, U.S. and India have agreed to set up
a new framework for high-level official dialogues
to discuss issues such as regional security,
mainly for the purpose of analyzing and responding
to the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) threats.

On April 10 Kyodo News quoted diplomatic sources
that Japanese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Kenichiro Sasae and Indian Deputy Foreign Minister,
Rao reached an agreement on setting up
"Japan-U.S.-India dialog framework" on April 8
during a deputy foreign ministers' discussion.

Expectantly the main topic of this framework
is to analyze and respond to threats from China.
Experts think that CCP will react and protest.

CCP's rapid recent growth in military spending
and its lack of nuclear transparency
caused concerns in neighboring countries.
Initially India did not want to be involved
in the Japan-U.S.-India cooperation, however it has
now decided to cooperate with Japan and the U.S.
''Japan-US-India Framework'' was brought up by India.
The ministerial level strategic dialogue
between India and the U.S. will continue.

U.S. Navy Admiral Robert Willard has described
the attitude toward Chinese military expansion
at the Polytechnic Institute of NYU on April 7.

Pacific Region and U.S. Pacific Fleet Commander
until two years ago, Willard, stressed
that India is the most populour democratic country,
with growing economy and impact on Southeast Asia.
India and the U.S. are natural partners,
and will increase strategic cooperation.

Though most of U.S. Asian allies hope U.S. will get
more involved in peace matters in the APAC region,
Willard denied "the U.S. is to contain China."
He said the U.S. and allies will continue to make
every effort to maintain safety in the APAC region.

Willard clearly stated the U.S. Pacific presence
is to maintain peace and security in the region.
North Korean nuclear militarization is one
of the factors of instability in the APAC region.
Being a North Korea's ally China plays a key role
in determining what action North Korea would take.
U.S. hopes China will play this role appropriately.

Willard said that the U.S. Secretary of Defense,
Robert Gates twice requested a high-level dialogue
with China on nuclear weapons strategy, network
and space technology, etc. The attitude from
Chinese authorities was 'needs more consideration.'
U.S. hopes CCP will change its existing practices
and will adopt a more responsible attitude,
especially regarding network and space technology,
which impact the security on a global scale.
