Singapore - Singapore on Saturday welcomed Japan's decision to resume a naval mission supporting US-led efforts in Afghanistan. 'Japan's contribution will help enhance the security of Afghanistan and the entire region,' a Singapore Foreign Ministry statement said. Japan's ruling coalition on Friday forced a bill through Parliament to revive the mission in the Indian Ocean, clearing the way for Japanese ships to return after a month-long absence. The decision 'is an important contribution to the global anti- terror campaign,' the city-state ministry said. © 2008 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
