Japan to continue to support Pakistan after president resigns+

(Japan Economic Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) TOKYO, Aug. 19_(Kyodo) _ Japan will continue to provide support to Pakistan despite the resignation of the country's President Pervez Musharraf on Monday, Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura said Tuesday.


"The stabilization of Pakistan's political condition is very important for the area and for the international society" as the country is at the forefront in the fight against terrorism, Machimura told a news conference.

He also said the resignation of Musharraf will not affect the Japanese government's plan to extend its refueling mission in the Indian Ocean in support of U.S.-led antiterrorism operations, which is likely to be a major topic in the upcoming extraordinary Diet session.
