TOKYO — Japan reportedly has delayed a decision on the relocation of a major U.S. military base on Okinawa.
Kyodo News Agency said Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama had put off a decision today on the future of Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, and the newspaper Asahi Shimbun said the decision had been postponed until May.
A spokesman for the prime minister’s office could not confirm either report.
According to a 2006 agreement between Japan and the U.S., Futenma was to be moved to a less crowded part of Okinawa, but Hatoyama has said the relocation site could be changed.
