SOUNDBITE (Japanese): Junichiro Koizumi, Japanese Prime Minister: "I believe it is no exaggeration to say that over the past five years, there has been no world leader alongside President Bush, among the world leaders, with whom I've felt so much heart to heart, felt so deep a friendship and trust and have cooperated with." 13. Bush and Koizumi standing together STORYLINE Celebrating a close friendship between their countries, US President George W Bush welcomed Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi to the White House in Washington DC on Thursday. Bush spoke warmly of the relationship between the USA and Japan after a military ceremony watched by crowds waving Japanese and American flags on the South Lawn of the White House. "Decades ago, our two fathers looked across the Pacific and saw adversaries, uncertainty and war. Today their sons look across that same ocean and see friends and opportunity and peace." he said. Asserting Japan's desire to enhance its role as a world leader, Koizumi said he and Bush would discuss bilateral issues as well as global challenges. They will discuss reported North Korean preparations to test-launch a long-range missile and Japan's support for the US fight against terror. Koizumi stopped to shake the hands of Japanese-American children who attend a Japanese language school in Washington. Bush will hold an official gala dinner for Koizumi later on Thursday. After the policy discussions and formal gatherings end, Bush will treat Koizumi to a tour Friday of the home of the Japanese Prime Minister's musical hero, Elvis Presley, at Graceland. It is a farewell tour for Koizumi before he steps down in September. The prime minister is a stalwart member of a dwindling group of world leaders willing to stand by the beleaguered US president as bloodshed continues in Iraq and anger soars over US foreign policy. The leaders' close ties are said to have been forged in the aftermath of the September 11 2001 attacks on New York. Koizumi is seen as having changed the way Japan views itself on the world stage. Japanese troops, once viewed as colonising aggressors, now stand ready to take a bigger role in regional and global security.
