Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso and U.S. Ambassador to Japan Thomas Schieffer will sign an official note on a cooperation framework for sharing information on computer viruses and security measures and equipment, they said. The Japanese Defense Agency and the U.S. Defense Department will then exchange a memorandum on specific cooperation measures, which are to be carried out by the Defense Agency's Joint Staff Office and the Defense Department's Pacific Command in Hawaii.
