Japan will try to work with the African Union to draft a joint resolution on United Nations reform that mirrors the goal of the so-called Group of Four in expanding the Security Council, Foreign Minister Nobutaka Machimura said Tuesday.
The two sides "are not aiming for different goals," Machimura told reporters. "It is possible to adjust the content of the resolution."
African Union foreign ministers agreed Sunday in Libya to map out a resolution to allocate two permanent seats with veto power and five rotating seats to African nations in the Security Council.
