Besides fighting for a world free of nuclear weapons President Barack Obama did not include in his close visit to Japan Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the two cities over which United States launched atomic bombs in 1945.
The main spokesman of the Japanese government Hirofumi Hirano justified that decision Thursday with the rapid visit in the first stay of the US leader to this country on November 12 and 13.
I think it will be very difficult because it will be a short stay, said the spokesman in a press conference.
The news disappointed the population in those territories that were expecting for a new boost in Obama efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons after his call to create a world free of them, according to press reports.
The program of US President includes a meeting with Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama who assumed this post last September 16.
The bilateral links showed that the White House is concerned about the decision of the government led by Japan Democratic Party to put end to refueling of US ships in the Indic Ocean, which are taking part in the US occupation in Afghanistan.
The law protecting this support expires next January and the new Japanese administration seemed to be decided to comply with the electoral commitment that it will not postpone it.
