US-JAPAN-POLITICS-MILITARY-NUCLEAR
TO GO WITH STORY JAPAN-US-MILITARY-NUCLEAR-WEAPONS-HISTORY
This picture taken on January 6, 1972 shows late Japanese prime minister Eisaku Sato (L) with late US president Richard Nixon at their meeting in Sacramento, California. Japan's centre-left government plans to lift the lid on secret Cold War nuclear and military pacts with the United States that were denied for decades by previous conservative governments. The "secret treaties", some of them only hinted at in yellowed diplomatic memos, point to what has long been Japan's security paradox. Sato, who won the Nobel Peace prize for stating Japan's hallowed "three non-nuclear principles", quietly gave the green light in 1969 to then US president Richard Nixon to take nuclear arms to Okinawa in an emergency even after the island was handed back to Japan in 1972.
