Economic eclipse of Europe denied
NZPA-Reuter London The Japanese Prime Minister, Mr Yasuhiro Nakasone, says the world economic spotlight has switched to the Pacific nations but .this did not mean the eclipse of Europe. In a lecture to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Mr Nakasone said that the Pacific region was gaining world attention as a centre of economic growth. “I know some people in Europe have mixed feelings about the dynamic economic development under way in the Asia-Pacific region,” he said. “But we should not think in terms of the Atlantic versus the Pacific, or Europe versus Asia ... My
dream is that of a strong Europe and a developing Asia-Pacific linked together in mutual prosperity.” He said he believed Japan’s efforts to promote friendly relations with its largest Asian neighbour, China, could help to improve the climate for world peace and stability. Relations with the Soviet Union were strained, which made it all the more important patiently to maintain and strengthen a dialogue with Moscow. Mr Nakasone again endorsed the decision by the N.A.T.O. allies to deploy medium-range missiles in Western Europe by saying it was “one vital step the West took jointly in facing the Soviet Union.”
