日本首相野田佳彥歡迎美國將重心轉向亞太

Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda warned of a worsening security situation in the Asia-Pacific, as he met with U.S. President Barack Obama Tuesday on the sidelines of a regional summit in Cambodia.

Prime Minister Noda told President Obama that he welcomes Washington's recent "pivot" toward the region, which comes amid worsening territorial disputes between China and several U.S. allies, including Tokyo.

President Obama said the meeting was another opportunity to affirm what he called the "extraordinary alliance" between the U.S. and Japan.

Washington denies taking sides in the sovereignty disputes between China and its rival claimants, though Beijing suspects the U.S. rebalance toward the region is aimed at containing its rise.

President Obama did not mention the territorial disputes in his public remarks with Mr. Noda, or in his later meeting with outgoing Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.星期二，日本首相野田佳彥在柬埔寨召開的一次地區峯會期間會晤了美國總統奧巴馬，他警告說，亞太地區的安全局勢正在惡化。

野田佳彥對奧巴馬說，他歡迎華盛頓近來將重心轉向亞太地區，目前中國與包括日本在內的幾個美國盟國之間的領土糾紛日趨激化。

奧巴馬說，這次會晤是證實美日兩國“特殊的盟友關係”的又一個機會。

華盛頓否認在中國與其他國家的主權爭端中偏袒任何一方，但北京懷疑美國將重心轉向亞太地區是爲了遏制中國的發展。

奧巴馬與野田佳彥公開談話以及隨後會晤中國總理溫家寶時，都沒有提及領土爭端問題。
