Japan issued a statement backing the American stance. Words of support also came from the Philippines and South Korea.

"If a dangerous dictator possesses dangerous weapons of mass destruction, we will face a big danger. How to get rid of this threat concerns people around the world," Prime Minister Koizumi said in a televised statement.

Philippine President Gloria Arroyo said Manila gave both political and moral support for the action against Iraq.

"The Philippines is part of the coalition of the willing. We are giving political and moral support for actions to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction," she said.
South Korean President Roh Moo-Hyun also pledged his government's support for the US-led war.
He also said his country would make all possible effort to ensure the war with Iraq did not worsen relations with North Korea.
