Former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone recently in the media, wrote that at the upcoming G-8 summit, as chairman of the Japan can play a leadership capacity, the question of national prosperity, and the spirit of Prime Minister Fukuda prepared is key.

Japan's "Sankei Shimbun" published by Yasuhiro Nakasone on the 3rd of this article, entitled "Fukuda prime minister should have national interests and devotion to the spirit of preparation." Looking at the world, is clearly a crisis situation. Among them, worthy of vigilance is "BRIC four countries," the rise. On the other hand, Japan as an economic great power status is rapidly recession. From two years ago, Japan's per capita GDP in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development member countries fell to No. 18.

This situation will bring about the circumstances » Look at the U.S. presidential election, it will clear at a glance. Republican candidate John McCain adhere to the "pro-Japanese" attitude, the Democratic Party's candidate Obama displayed the bias of China's diplomatic posture. If the G-8 summit is not displayed on the status of Japan, the United States and the world may not be on the Japanese Fangzaiyanli. Conversely, the G-8 summit in Japan re-establish the prestige of a golden opportunity.

What is the G-8 summit » The author believes that international politics is the Olympic Games. The leaders of the developed countries once a year, a convergence of the country's prestige and political forces Story, an intense bargaining. Must be in the national interest and make every effort to win a gold medal on the political. Chairman of winning more gold medals obligations. To that end, Prime Minister Fukuda should have the appropriate mental preparations to.

The so-called mental preparation, is not to be swayed by public opinion and media, we should not hesitate on the political life of gambling, and implement their own national interests that can safeguard the principle.

In addition to the G-8 members abroad, "BRIC four countries" and African countries will also attend the enlarged meeting of the Group of Eight summit. Hokkaido Lake Toya-G-8 summit will have 22 state leaders attended, is the largest in history. Many global-scale issues, such as climate change, food prices soaring, Africa and the world economy.

States can not be thinking exactly the same. As the President requested the Prime Minister Fukuda What is clear traps, and play a strong leadership, decisive summed up the views of all sectors and into the joint statement.

North Korea abducted Japanese issue, it is necessary in the resolution or the Chairman concluded in the past. G-8 members should discuss the North Korea nuclear issue to support the six-party talks.

Prime Minister Fukuda was often ironic gesture as "a friend diplomacy." However, I do not feel this analogy the number of negative implications. This is because, in a meeting of heads of state of convergence on the leading role to play, we must pay more than a few have a favorable impression on the President's friends.
