Japan 'determined' to overcome disaster
PRIME Minister Naoto Kan said today that Japan was ``fully determined'' to overcome the disasters that hit the country a week ago, saying there was ``no time for pessimism.''
Japan was currently facing its worst crisis since World War II, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said on Sunday, as the death toll from the earthquake and tsunami crossed the 1,000 mark and amid fears of a meltdown at a quake-damaged nuclear power plant.
