TOKYO, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- The Obama administration wants Japan to move quickly to resolve a dispute over the location of a Marine base, U.S. Ambassador John Roos said Friday.
The dispute about the location of the U.S. Marine air station on Okinawa has become a sticking point in the security relationship between the two countries, The Washington Post reported.
"It is important that we resolve the current issues expeditiously," Roos said in his first public address in Japan since he arrived three months ago.
But newly elected Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama said this week his government won't meet the U.S. demand to decide the base's location quickly.
"We are not discussing this on the premise that it has to be decided by the end of the year," Hatoyama said.
