Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and US President George W Bush meet on Friday in Texas for talks on how to respond to the North Korean nuclear crisis. Mr Koizumi spent Thursday night at Mr Bush's "Prairie Chapel" ranch.
Next time he sees Jacques, he can tell him what it was like... | Their talks on Friday morning were expected to touch on post-war Iraq and economic issues in both their nations. But the North Korean nuclear crisis is expected to top the agenda, with Mr Koizumi's visit coming just one week after South Korean President Roh Moo-Hyun met Mr Bush in Washington.
Maybe Koizumi can tell Roh what the ranch was like, too... | Mr Roh and Mr Bush agreed to work to eliminate Pyongyang's nuclear weapons programme "through peaceful means", but they warned in a post-summit statement that increased threats would merit "consideration of further steps". |
