日本对奥巴马任命的新大使表示欢迎

2013-07-29来源:CRI

The Japanese government has welcomed US president Barack Obama's selection of the United States ambassador to Japan.

Obama has named Caroline Kennedy to the post. She is the daughter of former President John F Kennedy.

Yoshihide Suga is Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary.

"We hear that Caroline Kennedy has the trust of President Obama and this appointment reaffirms the importance of the U.S.-Japan alliance by the Obama administration and we highly value that stance." 

Kennedy is a lawyer by training and is a key supporter of Obama's presidential campaign.  

If confirmed by the Senate, Miss Kennedy will replace John Roos, who's a wealthy former Silicon Valley lawyer and top Obama campaign fundraiser.
