Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda held the eighth meeting of the Council on National Strategy and Policy for 2012 at the Prime Minister's Office.
Discussion took place on the Strategy for Rebirth of Japan.
Based on the discussion, the Prime Minister said, "I am willing to realize a 'country of co-creation,' which is a country that opens up new frontiers and is created together by all the people.
In order to do so, the policies should be developed securely around the Strategy for Rebirth of Japan, and I would like to mention two points.
First, the reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake and the revitalization of Fukushima must be continuously tackled with every effort as the top priority issue. At the same time, the four largest projects set forth as the prioritized issues in the Strategy for Rebirth of Japan, namely "Green," "Life," "Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries," and "Mid- and Small-Sized Enterprises," should be addressed securely.
Thus, we would like to allocate the budget with clear priority on certain governmental areas and measures, such as modifying the budget boldly beyond the border of ministries and agencies.
Second, in order to securely implement the Strategy for Rebirth of Japan, we would like to strongly push forward the implementation of the PDCA cycle, centering around this Council on National Strategy and Policy, such as evaluating achievement of the goals of the policy based on the roadmap every fiscal year, and decide the basic direction of the priority policies for promoting the strategy.
I would like the government to draw on all of the measures in the future, by transforming the Strategy for Rebirth of Japan into concrete actions, so that Japan can achieve strong growth again."
