Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda vowed on Monday to continue Japan's support to security and revitalization in Afghanistan's reconstruction process.
As the host of this year's G8 summit slated for July in Hokkaido, Japan will coordinate with the international society over Afghan reconstruction, Fukuda said during meeting with visiting Afghan Foreign Minister Dadfar Spanta.
Spanta said that in an improving situation, there is still huge amount of work to be done. He asked for continued assistance from the Japanese side.
The foreign minister, who arrived here on Sunday to attend an international conference on Afghanistan's reconstruction on Tuesday and Wednesday in Tokyo, also expressed appreciation for Japan's resumption of its refueling mission in the Indian Ocean to support U.S.-led antiterrorism operations in and around Afghanistan.
