Maehara says gov't should take note of Okinawa's wishes
Okinawa affairs minister Seiji Maehara said during his visit to the island prefecture on Saturday that the government should give due consideration to local authorities' wishes when it proceeds with the controversial relocation of a U.S. Marine base in the prefecture. ''We must have the flexibility to allow us to say we cannot move things forward without Okinawa's acceptance,'' Maehara told reporters in Nago, to which Japan and the United States are seeking to relocate the Futenma Air Station located elsewhere on the main Okinawa island.
