"I explained Japan's view, which is that it's desirable for exchange rates to move stably, reflecting fundamentals, and that Japan will respond to excessive currency moves," Suzuki told reporters on what was discussed during the bilateral talks. He declined to comment, when asked whether Japan could intervene in the currency market to prop up the yen.
