Noda planning to hold talks with Obama on Sept. 21 in N.Y.+
TOKYO, Sept. 14 Kyodo -
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda is planning to hold bilateral talks with U.S. President Barack Obama on Sept. 21 in New York, Japanese government sources said Wednesday.
Noda, who took office on Sept. 2, will make his diplomatic debut next week to attend U.N. meetings and hold one-on-one talks with other national leaders as well.
Noda is scheduled to leave Japan next Tuesday to attend the U.N. General Assembly session and make a speech at the world body's high-level meeting on nuclear safety and security, following the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant.
Noda's talks with Obama would likely be his first major event, before attending the United Nations meetings. The sources said Tokyo and Washington are organizing the meeting that would last about an hour on the morning of Sept. 21.
In early September, Noda told Obama over the phone that the Japan-U.S. alliance will continue to be the cornerstone of Tokyo's foreign policy, and it is his belief that the long-standing partnership is also essential for peace and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region.
