SINGAPORE: Japan on Tuesday announced the reorganisation of its Foreign Ministry with a view to "enhancing safety measures for Japanese nationals abroad" and with the "aim of enforcing international security efforts including non-proliferation" of nuclear weapons and the related knowhow. The changes, effective from August 1, were made public by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tokyo on Tuesday. Newly established was the Disarmament, Non-Proliferation and Science Department. This is in line with the "pacifist diplomacy" that Tokyo has sought to project and pursue over the years, with particular reference to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. The relatively new anti-terror concerns are reflected in the upgradation of the Consular and Migration Affairs Department as the new Consular Affairs Bureau. One of the tasks of this Bureau was spelt out as that of augmenting the security of Japanese citizens residing in other countries.
