TOKYO, March 10 (Reuters) - Japan must discuss the handling of the 2013 joint statement between the government and the Bank of Japan with the new central bank governor, Tokyo's top spokesperson said on Friday. Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told a press conference that it was too early to comment on the future course of the joint policy accord, when asked about it after the confirmation of academic Kazuo Ueda as the new BOJ governor. Earlier on Friday, Japan's finance minister said he expected the central bank to guide policy appropriately in close coordination with the government, taking economy, prices and financial conditions into account.
