Ralph Cossa, President of the CSIS Pacific Forum, was quoted by the Economic Times, "With G8, Japan Relishes Chance as Asia's 'Good Guy.'"
One month before the world's spotlight turns to Beijing for the Olympics, Japan is hoping that this week's Group of Eight summit will show it to be the "good guy" of Asia.
Japan, the only Asian nation in the elite club of eight industrial powers, is pulling out all the stops for the three-day G8 summit starting Monday at the secluded mountain retreat of Toyako. [...]
The G8 meeting "at least reminds the world of the other Asia giant," said Ralph Cossa, head of the Pacific Forum of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.
