Palau President Johnson Toribiong held bilateral talks with Japan Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Tokyo shortly after his arrival for the Sixth Pacific Leaders Meeting, which Japan hosted in Okinawa. During the exchange between the two leaders Japan Prime Minister welcomed President Toribiong to Japan and stated that he hopes that the four electric generators that Japan donated to Palau in order to respond to the recent power shortages there will help to resolve this problem. Prime Minister Noda further informed Toribiong that his government would be considering funding for the remaining request for power generator. The request, which President Toribiong personally appealed to Japan consists of 2-units of 5M engines that will give Palau additional 10MW electric power generation capacity. Prime Minister Noda also stated that he intends to make an effort to strengthen the friendly relations between the two nations.
