#JAPAN: Gov. Of Okinawa Vows To Legally Challenge US Base Relocation

[world politics news]


The newly-elected governor of Okinawa says he will take legal action to block the national government from resume in construction on a new location for a US Marine Corp base in his region.

Gov. Denny Tamaki, who was elected on the promise to block the new military base, says he is keeping his election promise. The government of Japan, along with the American military, say the expansion is necessary to both modernize it and place the facility in a less populated area.

The Okinawa prefectural assembly on Oct. 26 adopted an ordinance to hold a referendum on the base's relocation, but the central government says it will ignore the results of the vote.

Military experts say an American military presence in Japan is necessary to deter states such as North Korea and China becoming too aggressive in the region.
