DIPLOMATIC ENTRANCE
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1989
Mr. Prime Minister, Ladies and gentlemen.
An old proverb says, "The foundations for a better tomorrow
must be laid today.' Mr. Prime Minister, three weeks into your
and I
office you are here today to shape tomorrow -- and on America's
behalf, let me welcome you to this country.
When I was in Japan earlier this year, I observed how ties
-- national and personal -- bind our two peoples. Your visit
reaffirms those tiesx And underscores the commitment -- by you,
and your government -- to the continued health of our historic
friendship.
That friendship lives, and growsy As today's meeting
evidenced. For while we met as new friends, our talks were
conducted like old friends. They were characterized by civility, cordiality
a
positive atmosphere and understanding. And by broad agreement on the major items of
our bilateral and international agenda.
For that, Mr. Prime Minister, I credit the goodwill and
perspective you brought to these discussions And the enduring
partnership between our two governments. That partnership is
based on shared interests and mutual respect. And rests on our
belief that -- together -- we can be a global force for peace and
prosperity.

This "global partnership" works in several ways.
First, as in past meetings between our Nations' leaders, the
Prime Minister and I affirmed that the Treaty of Mutual Security

MR. PRIME MINISTER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
AN OLD PROVERB SAYS, "THE FOUNDATIONS FOR A BETTER
TOMORROW MUST BE LAID TODAY." MR. PRIME MINISTER, YOU
AND I ARE HERE TODAY TO SHAPE TOMORROW -- AND ON
AMERICA'S BEHALF, LET ME WELCOME YOU To THIS COUNTRY.
- 2 -
WHEN I WAS IN JAPAN EARLIER THIS YEAR, I OBSERVED
HOW TIES -- NATIONAL AND PERSONAL -- BIND OUR TWO
PEOPLES. YOUR VISIT REAFFIRMS THOSE TIES AND
UNDERSCORES THE COMMITMENT -- BY YOU, AND YOUR
GOVERNMENT -- TO THE CONTINUED HEALTH OF OUR HISTORIC
FRIENDSHIP.
THAT FRIENDSHIP LIVES, AND GROWS, AS TODAY'S
MEETING EVIDENCED. FOR WHILE WE MET AS NEW FRIENDS,
OUR TALKS WERE CONDUCTED LIKE OLD FRIENDS.
- 3 -
THEY WERE CHARACTERIZED BY CORDIALITY, A POSITIVE
ATMOSPHERE, AND UNDERSTANDING. AND BY BROAD AGREEMENT
ON THE MAJOR ITEMS OF OUR BILATERAL AND INTERNATIONAL
AGENDA.
FOR THAT, MR. PRIME MINISTER, I CREDIT THE GOODWILL
AND PERSPECTIVE YOU BROUGHT TO THESE DISCUSSIONS AND
THE ENDURING PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN OUR TWO GOVERNMENTS.
- 4 -
THAT PARTNERSHIP IS BASED ON SHARED INTERESTS AND
MUTUAL RESPECT AND RESTS ON OUR BELIEF THAT --
TOGETHER -- WE CAN BE A GLOBAL FORCE FOR PEACE AND
PROSPERITY.
THIS "GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP" WORKS IN SEVERAL WAYS.
- 5 -
FIRST, AS IN PAST MEETINGS BETWEEN OUR NATIONS'
LEADERS, THE PRIME MINISTER AND I AFFIRMED THAT THE
TREATY OF COOPERATION AND MUTUAL SECURITY IS VITAL NOT
ONLY TO OUR JOINT SECURITY BUT TO THE STABILITY OF THE
ENTIRE ASIA-PACIFIC AREA. IN THAT CONTEXT, WE AGREED
THAT THIS ALLIANCE WILL CONTINUE TO BE CRUCIAL TO THE
REGION'S FUTURE.
- 6 -
AND WE VOWED TO CONTINUE To CONSULT CLOSELY ON ALL
ASPECTS AND ARRANGEMENTS OF OUR SECURITY PARTNERSHIP
AND SHARED RESPONSIBILITY FOR PEACE AND STABILITY.
SECOND, THE PRIME MINISTER AND I DISCUSSED HOW WE
CAN PROMOTE PEACE AND PROSPERITY THROUGH GREATER
FREEDOM -- ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL -- AROUND THE WORLD.
ALREADY, WE HAVE JOINED TO SUPPORT THE MULTILATERAL
ASSISTANCE INITIATIVE FOR THE PHILIPPINES LAUNCHED IN
TOKYO IN JULY.
- 7 -
TODAY, WE RESTATED OUR INTENT TO ENCOURAGE STILL MORE
OPEN ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL SYSTEMS. AND SPECIFICALLY,
TO SUPPORT RECENT POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC REFORM IN
EASTERN EUROPE, NOTABLY IN POLAND AND HUNGARY.
WE ALSO DISCUSSED THE SITUATION IN CHINA. FOR AS I
HAVE SAID BEFORE, WE MUST SEEK TO PRESERVE OUR
RELATIONS THERE -- WHILE ENDORSING THE LEGITIMATE
ASPIRATIONS OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE FOR POLITICAL
EXPRESSION.
- 8 -
A THIRD AREA OF AGREEMENT CONCERNS HOW DIPLOMACY
CAN HELP RESOLVE REGIONAL CONFLICTS. AMERICA AND
JAPAN, WITH OTHERS, WILL CONTINUE TO URGE A
COMPREHENSIVE SETTLEMENT THAT GIVES THE PEOPLE OF
CAMBODIA BOTH SECURITY AND THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE THEIR
OWN GOVERNMENT. WE AGREED, Too, TO ACCELERATE OUR
EFFORTS TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS AGAINST INTERNATIONAL
TERRORISM.
- 9 -
IN PARTICULAR, WE REPEATED THE MUTUAL COMMITMENT TO
AVIATION SECURITY WE MADE AT THE SUMMIT IN PARIS, AND
PLEDGED TO POOL OUR TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC RESOURCES TO
COMBAT ALL FORMS OF TERRORISM AFFECTING CIVIL AVIATION.
FINALLY, THE PRIME MINISTER AND I DISCUSSED OUR
ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIP AT GREAT LENGTH. WE ARE MINDFUL
THAT OUR ECONOMIES ARE THE WORLD'S LARGEST.
- 10 -
AND WE KNOW THAT THE HEALTH OF OUR RELATIONSHIP PARTLY
DEPENDS ON BRINGING OUR ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIP INTO
BETTER BALANCE.
THE PRIME MINISTER CONFIRMED THE AGREEMENT I
REACHED WITH HIS PREDECESSOR AT THE PARIS SUMMIT TO
LAUNCH TALKS ON STRUCTURAL IMPEDIMENTS -- AND THESE
DISCUSSIONS WILL BEGIN IN A FEW DAYS.
- 11 -
I STRESSED TO THE PRIME MINISTER THE IMPORTANCE
THAT WE ATTACH TO THE SUCCESS OF THOSE TALKS, AND TO
THE TRADE COMMITTEE TALKS WHICH ALSO OCCUR NEXT WEEK.
AND I SHARE THE PRIME MINISTER'S BELIEF THAT WHILE
JAPAN IS JUSTLY NOTED AS AN EXPORTING SUPERPOWER, THE
TIME HAS ALSO COME FOR JAPAN TO BE AN IMPORT
SUPERPOWER.
- 12 -
EACH OF US DESIRES THAT THESE DISCUSSIONS PRODUCE
RESULTS WHICH FURTHER STRENGTHEN OUR ECONOMIC
RELATIONSHIP AND THE OPEN WORLD TRADING SYSTEM. To
ADVANCE THAT GOAL, WE RESTATED OUR COMMITMENT To THE
SUCCESS OF THE URUGUAY ROUND. WE ALSO VOWED TO
CONTINUE OUR FREQUENT CONSULTATIONS AT ALL LEVELS ON
OTHER INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC AND TRADE ISSUES.
- 13 -
IN SUM, MR. PRIME MINISTER, OURS HAS BEEN A HIGHLY
PRODUCTIVE MEETING. ONE WHICH WILL ENHANCE THE BROAD
U.S.-JAPANESE AGENDA.
A WRITER ONCE OBSERVED, "FRIENDSHIP IS A SHELTERING
TREE." BECAUSE OF TIES WHICH PROSPER -- AND A
PARTNERSHIP WHICH ENDURES -- BOTH JAPAN AND THE UNITED
STATES HAVE BEEN, I BELIEVE, AND WILL REMAIN, BETTER
FOR ITS SHADE.
- 14 -
MR. PRIME MINISTER, WE HAVE A MATURE, EFFECTIVE
WORKING PARTNERSHIP -- AND WITH YOU AT THE HELM, I KNOW
THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES
WILL PRODUCE POSITIVE RESULTS. I LOOK FORWARD TO

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: KAIFU DEPARTURE
DIPLOMATIC ENTRANCE
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1989
Mr. Prime Minister, Ladies and gentlemen.
An old proverb says, "The foundations for a better tomorrow
must be laid today." Mr. Prime Minister, three weeks into your
office, you are here today to shape tomorrow -- and on America's
behalf, let me welcome you to this country.
When I was in Japan earlier this year, I observed how ties
-- national and personal -- bind our two peoples. Your visit
reaffirms those ties. And underscores the commitment -- by you,
and your government -- to the continued health of our historic
friendship.
That friendship lives, and grows. As today's meeting
evidenced. For while we met as new friends, our talks were
conducted like old friends. They were characterized by civility,
and understanding. And by broad agreement on the major items of
our bilateral and international agenda.
For that, Mr. Prime Minister, I credit the goodwill and
perspective you brought to these discussions. And the enduring
partnership between our two governments. That partnership is
based on shared interests and mutual respect. And rests on our
belief that -- together -- we can be a global force for peace and
prosperity.
2
This "global partnership" works in several ways.
First, as in past meetings between our Nations' leaders, the
Prime Minister and I affirmed that the Treaty of Mutual Security
and Cooperation is vital to joint security and the stability of
the Asia-Pacific area. In that context, we agreed that this
alliance will be crucial to the region's future. And we vowed to
expedite the ongoing review of arrangements pertinent to shared
responsibility, including support for U.S. forces stationed in
Japan.
Second, the Prime Minister and I discussed how we can
promote peace and prosperity through greater freedom -- economic
and political. Already, we have joined to support the
Multilateral Assistance Initiative for the Philippines launched
in Tokyo in July. Today, we restated our intent to encourage
still more open boundaries, markets, and elections. And
specifically, to support recent political and economic reform in
Eastern Europe, notably in Poland and Hungary.
We also discussed the situation in China. For as I have
said before, we must seek to preserve our relations there --
while endorsing the legitimate aspirations of the Chinese people
for political expression.
A third area of agreement concerns how diplomacy can help
resolve regional conflicts. America and Japan, with others, will
continue to urge a comprehensive settlement that gives the people
of Cambodia both security and democracy. We agreed, too, to
accelerate our fight against international terrorism. In

particular, we repeated the mutual commitment to aviation
security we made at the Summit in Paris, and pledged to pool our
technical and economic resources to combat all forms of terrorism
affecting civil aviation.
Finally, the Prime Minister and I had the opportunity to

matters. Mindful that our economies are among the world's most
robust. And knowing that the health of our relationship partly
concrete actions to bring
depends on bringing better balance to our Nations' ledger boards.
Both the Prime Minister and I endorse that goal. And I wish
to thank him for supporting the agreement I reached with his
predecessor at the Paris Summit to launch talks on structural
impediments -- discussions which begin in a few days.
I explained to the Prime Minister the importance that we
attach to those talks, and the Trade Committee talks which also

trade issues.

In sum, Mr. Prime Minister, ours has been a highly

Thank you very much.
