Japan's defense chief, Fukushiro Nukaga, says Tokyo wants to develop a missile-defense system together with the United States as soon as possible. 日本防衛廳長(cháng)官額賀福志郎說(shuō)，東京希望盡快與美國共同研制導彈防御系統。
The measure approved Friday by Japan's upper house will transform the defense agency from an affiliate of the Cabinet Office to a policy-making ministry with a budget. 日本國會(huì )參議院星期五批準的這項法案將把原來(lái)隸屬于內閣府的防衛廳變成了一個(gè)有預算和政策制定權的省。
