Aso commenting ahead of the Bank of Japan meeting this week

• specific monetary policy up to BOJ to decide
• believe BOJ will pursue appropriate policy to achieve price stability
• understand Kuroda's view that premature debate on exit strategy will cause market confusion
• fully aware BOJ's 2% target will take a long time to achieve

Also, on the theme of the day … China / US trade war

• Want US and China to consult closely on trade to prevent fallout on other countries
