I think the citizens voted on how bad the economic policies of the partys administration are. The ruling party was embroiled in a feud in a runup. It would be the first time in 16 years the ruling party becomes a minority. It could affect the governments implementation of the agreement reach with japan in december on the issue of those referred to as comfort women, as handling of north korea. Officials from prefecture government will sit down again over a contentious plan. Theyll try to find Common Ground over plans to relocate a u. S. Base. The Central Government wants to move the u. S. Marine corps air station from a densely populated city to a coastal area. Okinawa officials have been fighting to have it moved out of the prefecture altogether. Construction work was suspended after both s

I need to encourage the countries to introduce possible technology and concerning coal power plants. And by doing so whee can avoid the deployment of load efficient coalfired plant which may be supported by finance. If you can effectively encourage them to introduce political far plants. Reduce by 20 parts of most. And in this situation is very important function hiss , first of all, theres a very high efficient cold power plant in operation, especially supercritical with very big strings of o
