		Japan's new ruling party leader Shinzo Abe, who is certain to succeed Junichiro Koizumi as the country's prime minister next week, is urged to improve strained relations with Asian neighbors by a former Japanese premier and major Japanese press Thursday.
		Koizumi's repeated pilgrimages to the war-linked Yasukuni Shrine, where top war criminals are honored, have impaired the political basis of bilateral relations between Japan and China and have become a major obstacle against improvement of the ties.
		Quoting a journalist Ryuichi Teshima, the paper said that "as for the Yasukuni problem, it has the potential to develop into an unpleasant issue with Washington," as Japan and the United States have lacked a common strategy in East Asia since the end of Cold War.
