Panel on war dead to reach decision in 1 year
TOKYO, Japan - Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuo Fukuda addresses members of a government advisory panel tasked with finding non-controversial ways to honor Japan's war dead who met for the first time dec. 19. The panel agreed to meet monthly before reaching a conclusion in one year. The panel headed by Takashi Imai, chairman of the Federation of Economic Organizations, was set up after Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's visit to Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine, which honors convicted war criminals along with the nation's war dead, triggered criticism from Japan's Asian neighbors.
