1. LEAD STORIES: All Thursday morning papers gave top play to Prime
Minister Aso's decision on Wednesday to appoint two new cabinet
ministers.
2. "Splits in Muslim Society in Indonesia" The liberal Asahi wrote
from Jakarta (7/2): "Religious conflicts and the human rights issue
are serious problems for Indonesia to overcome. However, discussions
on the upcoming presidential election have so far provided no clues
to solving these problems. With splits in its society still
remaining, Indonesia will hold its election on June 8."
3. "Russia Trying to 'Agitate' U.S. through Military Drills near
Georgia?" The liberal Tokyo Shimbun wrote from Moscow (7/2): "Ahead
of the U.S.-Russia summit on June 6, Russia has shown a cooperative
stance with the U.S. regarding Afghanistan. However, Russia has
begun large-scale military drills in the North Caucusus region that
borders on Georgia, with which Russia fought a war last year. The
drills appear to be aimed at putting pressure on the U.S. ahead of
U.S.-Russia talks on a new disarmament treaty in order to extract
concessions from Washington."
