PRIME Minister-elect Naoto Kan says Japan will honor an agreement with Washington to move a key Marine base to a less crowded part of Okinawa - an issue that led to the downfall of his predecessor.
In a press conference after he named his Cabinet today, Kan also said he would try to reduce the burden on the island for hosting many US military bases that are part of a joint security pact.
Ex-Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama stepped down last week after he was criticized for failing to keep a campaign promise to move US Marine Air Station Futenma off Okinawa. That decision that has angered local residents.
