Awwal 06, 1432, April 10, 2011, SPA -- Prime Minister Naoto Kan paid another visit to Japan's tsunami-devastated coast Sunday, promising officials in a fishing-dependent city that his government will do whatever it can to help. Kan visited Ishinomaki, a coastal city of 163,000 people in Miyagi, one of the prefectures (states) hardest-hit by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that killed as many as 25,000 people, destroyed miles of coastline and left tens of thousands homeless. «The government will do its utmost to help you,» Kan told local people gathered near the sea. «We will support you so that you can resume fishing,» he was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.
