Japan and the United States have agreed on a fresh agreement to relocate the U.S. Marine Corps Futenma base the coast of Henoko, Nago City in Okinawa Prefecture, Kyodo News today reported, citing sources, that the pact, to be announced on May 28, was reached by Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada, U.S. Ambassador to Japan John Roos and foreign and defense officials of the two countries during a meeting yesterday. Under the new plan, the two sides agreed not to delay the process of the environmental assessment conducted under the existing plan to reclaim land on the coast of the U.S. Marines' Camp Schwab in Henoko in Nago, and consider joint use of the relocation facility with Japan's Self-Defense Forces. The agreement also states that Japan and the United States will draw up details of the relocation plan by the next two-plus-two Japan-U.S. Security Consultative Committee and transfer part of the drills of U.S. Marine helicopter troops to elsewhere outside Okinawa Prefecture. <br/>
