The Japanese preme miniter asked the Indian leader "to exercise self-restraint and leadership in dealing with the tensions about which the international community is concerned," Kyodo News quoted a Japanese Foreign Ministry official as reporting.

Vajpayee told Koizumi that India does not want war and has to closely watch how Pakistan deals with a number of serious conflicts that have occurred since October last year, the report said.

The 20-minute telephone conversation came after a similar one Tuesday between Koizumi and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf.
