Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on Friday told the head of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development that Japan is determined to push through structural reforms, government officials said.

"There is no change in our reform policy. Structural reforms have proceeded steadily," Koizumi told OECD Secretary General Donald Johnston in a meeting at the Prime Minister's Official Residence.

Johnston told Koizumi he is aware that Japan's economic structural reforms have produced results and wants to support the government's continued efforts, the officials said.
