The Japanese and U.S. governments are in the final stage of negotiations to conduct fighter jet exercises scheduled for December in Guam, instead of Okinawa Prefecture as originally planned, it was learned Thursday.
The fighter jets, which will be involved in takeoff and landing exercises, are based at the U.S. Marine Corps' Iwakuni Air Station in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture.
A meeting of the Japan-U.S. joint committee on the realignment of U.S. forces in Japan will be held soon to decide details of the plan. (Yomiuri)
