| | FLAIR - CENTRESTAGE |
 | | Mori, it seems, doesnt control the factionalised LDP, his own party (that honour goes to the worthy former prime minister, Ryutaro Hashimoto, who was instrumental in slapping economic sanctions on India after the Pokharan tests), provoking a number of commentators within Japan to even question his long-term survival in office. |
 | | The colourful Mori arrives in India on Monday, as part of a South Asian tour undertaken by the first Japanese prime minister in ten years to this part of the world (he begins his trip in Bangladesh, goes from there to Pakistan, then comes to India and ends with Nepal). |
