US president Barack Obama called Japan's prime minister-elect, Naoto Kan, on Saturday to congratulate him on his election and pledge to work together on issues including North Korea and Iran, the White House said.

Kan, 63, will become Japan's fifth prime minister in three years, taking the helm as the country struggles to rein in a huge public debt, engineer growth in an aging society, and manage ties with security ally Washington and a rising China.

"The two leaders agreed to work very closely together to address the many issues facing both nations and the global community, including the challenges posed by North Korea and Iran," the White House said in a statement.

"They emphasized the importance they each place on the US-Japan Alliance," it said.

The two men are expected to meet at the G8 and G20 summit meetings in Canada later this month.
