Japan wants Antarctic aid
NZPA-AAP Hobart Japan wants closer cooperation with Australia on work in Antarctica, said the Japanese Science and Technology Minister, Mr Michiyuki Isurugi. Japan was particularly keen to work with Australia because it was at such an advanced stage of scientific work on the frozen Continent, Mr Isurugi said. He cited great advances made in the Australian Antarctic Division’s laboratories, which had the first krill to be cultivated from the egg stage to maturity. Mr Isurugi said Japan looked forward to co-opera-tion with Australia, specifically on geological and meteorological projects. Mr Isurugi, who himself went to the South Pole 10 years ago, was visiting the division headquarters at Kingston, near Hobart. Japan and Australia are both original signatories to the Antarctic Treaty which governs work on the continround of negotiations
between the 16 consultative Antarctic Treaty powers will be held in Tokyo from May 22 to 30. Mr Isurugi said discussions were expected to centre on a number of new countries that wanted to explore in Antarctica, and on the future of the.treaty which will expire in 1991.
