President Bush and Prime Minister Abe of Japan Participate in a Joint Press Availability - April 27, 2007

President Bush on Friday said, “We had the kind of discussion you’d expect allies to have. Our talks were very relaxed, but they were strategic. We think approximately the interest of our country and we think approximately the interest of maintaining peace in the world. The alliance

amidst Japan and the United States has never been stronger. And the Prime Minister and I will work tough to keep it that way. It’s in the interest of our peoples that we work closely.”
