| Description | Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda made a pitch Friday to Democratic Party of Japan leader Ichiro Ozawa to forge a grand coalition in a bid to break the stalemate in the divided Diet, but the DPJ rejected the offer.
Ozawa, however, showed flexibility toward the new Maritime Self-Defense Force logistic support bill, which has been a key bone of contention.
Fukuda made the coalition proposal during a closed meeting with Ozawa — the second such talks this week.
"A majority of DPJ executives said no to even entering policy talks with (the ruling coalition), so I have told (Fukuda) that we cannot accept the new coalition proposal," Ozawa told reporters after the DPJ meeting. |
