Japan"s FM Says Japanese More Likely to Succeed in Middle East Diplomacy than Westerners
Japanese media are reporting that Foreign Minister Taro Aso says the Japanese with, in his words, their "yellow faces" are more likely to succeed at Middle East diplomacy than their "blonde, blue-eyed" counterparts in the West.
Japanese media say Aso made the remarks in a speech Wednesday, in which he also said that the Japanese, unlike Americans, have no history of exploitation or violence in the region. Japan recently hosted talks involving officials from Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian territories.
Aso has made diplomatically controversial comments in the past. Earlier in his career, he said he hoped to make Japan the kind of country where people he called "rich Jews" would want to live.
The conservative minister is an avowed nationalist and has called Japan "a one-race nation."
日本媒体报导，日本外相麻生太郎表示，“黄面孔”的日本人比“金发碧眼”的西方人更有可能在中东外交方面获得成功。
日本媒体报导说，麻生太郎星期三在一次讲话中发表上述言论。他还说，日本不像美国，对中东地区没有剥削或是暴力的历史。日本最近主办了有以色列、约旦和巴勒斯坦领土官员参加的会谈。
麻生太郎过去发表过引起外交争议的言论。他在早期外交生涯时说过，希望把日本变成一个“有钱的犹太人”愿意居住的国家。
这位保守派外相是一位坚定的民族主义者，曾称日本为“单一民族国家”。
