AOMORI —

Main opposition Democratic Party of Japan leader Ichiro Ozawa said Friday if he becomes prime minister, he would not “miss summit talks” even if he feels sick, countering criticism over his canceling a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh the day before due to his health.

“On summit talks after I become prime minister, I would not fail to attend even if I’m not feeling quite well,” Ozawa said in Aomori Prefecture, where he visited to prepare for the House of Representatives election expected to be called soon.

  How about having a PM who won't get ill in the first place? If you're delirous and have no idea about what you should be negotiating it's better if you're not there!

  That Ozawa didn't say he'd improve his health instead is a bit ominous....
