LIMA, Nov 21: US President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe today shared a view that the two countries need to continue cooperating with each other to cope with the current international situation, a Japanese government statement said. The two leaders held brief talks while attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Lima. The statement did not say what the current international situation specifically refers to. US President-elect Donald Trump’s election campaign comments, including a demand that Japan pay more for the upkeep of US forces on its soil, have worried Tokyo about a rift in a security alliance with Washington that has been the bedrock of its defense since World War Two.
