An attempt at conciliation between the Japanese government and the governor of Okinawa, a Japanese island, took place this Sunday. The spokesman of the government met with the governor of Okinawa, whose residents are opposed to the presence of a US military base to be relocated elsewhere on the island.
"Relocating the base to Henoko is the only way to maintain the US-Japan alliance while eliminating the dangers of its current location."
What the Governor said: "The people of Okinawa were never volunteer to host military bases. I would like to point out. The more the government insists that the work will continue, it puts more people angry. "
It is not said that the two parties find common ground before the visit of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the United States at the end of the month.
Some 1,500 people gathered outside the hotel where the two men were gathered to say their opposition to the construction of a new base.
