US President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama have agreed on the need to renew their two countries' strained alliance.
Mr Obama told reporters after talks in Tokyo that their bond was based on shared values and interests but should be renewed for the 21st Century.
Mr Hatoyama said that, after 50 years, the alliance had to adapt to change.
Mr Obama's first Asian tour as US leader is aimed at reassuring key allies and boosting economic growth.
He has called for a growth strategy "that is both balanced and broadly shared".HERE
