 It's a great pleasure to welcome Oshima Satoru from the University of Tokyo and former Japanese ambassador to Saudi Arabia and also to Korea, to WPC TV. Oshima-san, a perhaps deceptively simple question. What do you think of the American pivot to Asia? Well, simply, we kind of welcome the policy followed by the current administration because of the fact that in view of the rise of China, which does have a positive element in certain areas, it does have some worrisome elements as well. So we feel that our security will be better served by a stronger interest of the Americans and peasants in this area. Is the implication that you cannot really improve relations with China unless you have the backing of America to somehow influence China? No, I think as we have been working recently with the Chinese, which resulted in this meeting between the two leaders through diplomatic channels, diplomatic efforts, we have always been open to dialogue with the Chinese and we managed to first take the first step rather difficult a couple of years in the recent past. So we are looking forward to developing on this positive step. Of course, the situation is not very delicate and very difficult, but I think there are a meeting of minds that we should move forward. Is the question of the shrine a difficult one? Why can't it be resolved? Well, first of all, there are many sensitive, difficult elements involved in this whole Yaskin shrine, which sometimes does not get through to foreign audience. First of all, Yaskin Shrine is a monument according to our admittedly religious feelings to commemorate or respect people who died for the country in various past wars since modern times. So it was not built for those individuals who died in one particular war, particularly the recent, most recent war at all. So it's natural for the many natural Japanese people to feel respect and would like to pay respect at the shrine and political leaders who are of course Japanese as well and you understand the Japanese sentiments and they have their own sentiments as well and they would like to pay respect. There are of course some sensitive political issues involved with our neighbors, particularly the Chinese. We understand the sensitive feelings on the part of the Chinese, but then we hope that they will also understand that there are certain feelings on our side, which is not necessary to, what should I say, entombolize the Chinese sentiments, what we have done in the past during the war with China. Of course we are very much remorseful and we have said so publicly, but the fact that we pay some people in Japan pay respect to the shrine is based on our sentiments to pay respect to the war dead and I think this happens with any nation where they had unfortunately wars in the past and people who have died for the country. Ashim Sun, thank you very much. You're welcome.
