TOKYO, Nov. 30, Kyodo
-
The Foreign Ministry (of Japan) said Saturday Tokyo
has proposed that the International Civil Aviation Organization consider
how to address the issue of China's declaration of an air defense
identification zone above the East China Sea.
Japan put forward the proposal on Friday in Canada at a meeting of the ICAO, a U.N. agency to promote the safe and orderly development of international civil aviation throughout the world, saying the Chinese move could threaten the order and safety of international civil aviation, according to the ministry.
Australia, Britain and the United States supported the proposal, but China reacted sharply against it.

Shinzo Abe: U.S. gov't did not ask airlines to give flight notice to China. -Senkaku/Diaoyu issue ...
ReplyDeleteKAMAISHI, Japan, Dec. 1, Kyodo
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Sunday the United States has told Japan that it did not advise American airlines to comply with Chinese demands for prior notice before their aircraft enter Beijing's new air defense identification zone over the East China Sea.
"We have confirmed through diplomatic channels that the U.S. government didn't request commercial carriers to submit flight plans," he said during an inspection tour of Kamaishi, Iwate Prefecture.
The prime minister made the comments following a U.S. State Department document issued Friday saying the government "generally expects that U.S. carriers operating internationally will operate consistent with" notification policies issued by foreign countries.

US vice president kicks off Asia visit ....
ReplyDeleteU.S. Vice President Joseph Biden on Sunday embarked on a week-long visit to Japan, China and the Republic of Korea, in the administration's latest effort to rebalance toward Asia.
"In each country, the vice president will meet with key leaders to discuss a full range of bilateral, regional and global issues," the White House said in a statement, as Biden left the Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington for Tokyo.
"The trip will reaffirm our enduring presence as a Pacific power, promote our economic and trade interests, and underscore our commitment to rebalancing U.S. foreign policy towards the Asia- Pacific," the White House said.
Atop Biden's agenda will be the efforts to complete the Trans- Pacific Partnership negotiations, denuclearize the Korean Peninsula, help lower tensions in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and boost U.S. economic ties with China, senior administration officials said.

S Korean airlines comply with China's air zone rules...
ReplyDeleteSEOUL: South Korean airlines on Thursday said they would comply with rules set by Beijing for its newly-declared air defence zone over the East China Sea.
The move followed guidance from Seoul allowing airlines to choose if they would adhere -- a policy regarded as tacit state approval -- but is in breach of South Korea's official stance which rejects the new zone.
Last month, China declared an Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ), which covers much of the East China Sea, and expects all aircraft passing through to provide a flight plan and identification details.
South Korea had defied this with military overflights and on Sunday responded by expanding its own zone, but the country's two major airliners have confirmed they are now providing information in line with Chinese requirements before traversing the area.
"We started submitting flight plans as of today," an Asiana spokeswoman told AFP.
Korean Air is also complying, a company spokesman said.
South Korean Transportation Minister Suh Seoung-Hwan on Wednesday told journalists it should be left to local airlines to decide whether to abide by China's new rules.
But he stressed there was no change to Seoul's official position that it rejects the China zone.
The zone covers a disputed South Korean-controlled rock -- known as Ieodo in Seoul and Suyan in Beijing -- that has long been a source of tension between the two countries.
Weeks after Beijing provoked regional fury by establishing the zone, South Korea on Sunday expanded its own, overlapping with the one announced by China.
China's ADIZ, which encompasses some areas currently controlled by South Korea or Japan, has drawn intense protests from the two neighbours and objections from key allies such as the United States.
