IPU global demand for Japanese support

The 124th meeting of the Interparliamentary Union (IPU) today demanded global support to help Japan resolve the crisis caused by the earthquake, tsunami and last month's nuclear disaster. "Japan has always shown great generosity in providing necessary human, material and financial, every time a country has experienced a disaster of this magnitude.

The world community owes Japan a similar response," said the IPU. Support for Japan was expressed in a special statement by the 615 parliamentarians from 125 countries gathered on Friday in Panama, through the president of the 125 assembly and turn the head of the Panamanian parliament, José Muñoz.

"We encourage our parliaments to be attentive to their needs," said Muñoz. Lawmakers also called for "all public comments regarding this situation prefer an objective analysis to baseless rumors." "Just as the destruction was swift and deadly, so the recovery will be long and laborious," said the statement while expressed its full support in the recovery process.
