U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. isn't taking a position in the dispute over the uninhabited islands that Japan and China have sparred over in recent years.
Kerry's strong words of support Sunday for America's ally come just a day after he promised new levels of U.S.-Chinese cooperation on a host of problems, most notably North Korea's nuclear program. In Japan, Kerry says Pyongyang would find willing partners by abiding by previous nuclear agreements.
Kerry met yesterday with Chinese leaders.
