'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

India, Japan Strengthen Strategic Relations
By Vivek Raghuvanshi

-Indo-Japanese strategic ties are part of an effort to counter the growing
influence of China in the area, said Mahindra Singh, retired Indian Army major
general and defense analyst based here. The heavy dependence of Japan and India on oil imports from the Persian Gulf is another major driver behind the growing Indo-Japanese relationship, Singh said.

NEW DELHI: India and Japan will upgrade their defense and strategic ties through
a Defence Action Plan (DAP) that will be presented to the prime ministers of
both countries when Yukio Hatoyama meets his Indian counterpart, Manmohan Singh, here Dec. 30, said a senior Indian Foreign Ministry official. The Japanese prime
minister is visiting Dec. 27-30.

The DAP will set up a framework to increase defense and strategic cooperation.
One principal area will be maritime cooperation, the official added. Maritime
security dialogue between defense authorities of India and Japan already has
been taking place for "some time," said an official of the Indian Defence
Ministry.

In November, Indian Defence Minister A. K. Antony accompanied a high-level
delegation to Tokyo that included Defence Secretary Pradeep Kumar; V.K.
Saraswat, scientific adviser to the defense minister; and Vice Adm. D.K. Dewan,
the vice chief of the Naval Staff.
