(ENN) Japan wants to involve China and the United States in talks over a new pact on climate change by launching a working group that will bring together all countries, including the major emitters that oppose existing plans.

The foreign ministry said on Thursday that Japan would propose forming such a group at a meeting in Bali, Indonesia in December to discuss long term climate targets, research and development of emission-reducing technology and other issues.

Delegates from about 190 nations will gather in Bali from December 3-14, under pressure to forge a deal by 2009 to succeed the Kyoto Protocol on reducing greenhouse gas emissions amid warnings over droughts and heatwaves caused by global warming.
