Whale diplomacy the Japanese way
Santiago, Chile -- June 26, 2008: In a cautious overture aimed at bridging the divide on whaling, Japan has called on its opponents to give a little ground so that it can move. After conceding to suspend the kill of Australian humpbacks, Japan wants anti-whaling nations to make some concession themselves, its chief negotiator, Joji Morishita, said on Wednesday on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the International Whaling Commission in Chile.
