JAPAN DROPS OPPOSITION TO RUSSIAN ENTRY TO G7

Financial Post, Daily edition, Tuesday, May 20, 1997

Japan has reversed its position and agreed to let Russia join the Denver summit of the world's leading industrialized nations next month as a formal member. The Japanese government decided to reverse its stance on the June 20 to 22 summit talks because the other G7 members were in favor of admitting Russia. ``It would not be a wise policy for Japan alone to voice caution,'' a senior foreign ministry official said.
