The trip comes after two top US officials visited Japan in March, and following a summit of leaders from the Quad alliance a grouping of the United States, Japan, Australia and India.

One of Japan s largest shipping companies has admitted that the industry s worst environmental accident this year was the result of the crew of the bulk carrier MV Wakashio sailing too close to shore as they attempted to pick up mobile phone signals.
The 300-metre ship ran aground on pristine coral reefs just off southern Mauritius on July 25, spilling more than 1,000 tonnes of fuel into the Indian Ocean and leading the country s government to declare a state of environmental emergency in an area that is listed as a protected wetland of international importance.
