The White House has confirmed that Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda will visit Washington and meet with President George W. Bush on Friday.

Earlier this month, White House Spokeswoman Dana Perino said that during the meeting, the U.S. will urge Japan to continue their refueling missions in the Indian Ocean to support US-led forces in Afghanistan.
