On November 29, 2018, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held a press conference at Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport).
 
With regard to his attendance at the G20 Buenos Aires Summit on Financial Markets and the World Economy and other matters, the Prime Minister said,
 
“The G20 accounts for over 80 percent of the global GDP and is an extremely important forum, which discusses free trade and the global economy. In light of Japan chairing next year’s G20, I will emphasize, in Buenos Aires, Japan’s position regarding strengthening the free and fair trade system, and ensuring the sustainable growth of the global economy. Given the great expectations placed upon Japan, I will seek to lead the discussions.
 
Furthermore, taking this opportunity, I plan to hold a Japan-U.S. Summit Meeting, a Japan-China Summit Meeting, a Japan-Russia Summit Meeting and a Japan-U.S.-India Trilateral Summit Meeting in Buenos Aires. In the Japan-Russia Summit Meeting, based on the agreement reached in Singapore to further accelerate negotiations on a peace treaty based on the 1956 Joint Declaration, I intend to hold in-depth discussions on such negotiations and build momentum for further progress.”
