TOKYO -- Military strikes against chemical weapons facilities in Syria launched by the U.S., U.K. and France on Friday drew mixed responses from Asian governments, while many experts see the attacks complicating talks on North Korean denuclearization.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters that the Japanese government would "support the determination of the U.S., U.K. and France [to ensure] that the proliferation and use of chemical weapons will never be allowed."
