On April 14, 2018, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held a press occasion in Osaka City.
Regarding the attack on Syria by the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, the Prime Minister said,
“The use of chemical weapons is extremely inhumane and Japan cannot tolerate it.
The Government of Japan supports the determination of the United States, the United Kingdom, and France to never allow the proliferation and use of chemical weapons. We understand that the countries took the action in order to avoid further aggravation of the situation.
Later, in the evening, I will convene a meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) and we will analyze the situation and discuss our response moving forward.”
