G’day, mate! Again.

During my recent visit in Japan, I was told by a few Japanese leaders that Australia has started to make an energetic approach to Japan. I collected our PM and Aust. PM's photos.

Photos tell us something, in sometimes.

I never seen such amicable shots with Julia, Kevin, and John... I have contact with Australia almost everyday, but also I feel Australia has enjoyed a relationship with China over the last decade. It is fine, China is more than 2,000 years friend of Japan. If my Japanese friends' comments are correct, why Australia give us special attention?

I am going visit Australia soon to discuss about new maritime security regime for Pacific. ;)
