Press Conference by the Chief Cabinet Secretary (Excerpt)

Q&As

(Abridged)

REPORTER: A short while ago, a joint group of the divisions of the Liberal Democratic Party handed over a report on the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to the Prime Minister. The report states that the Government’s decision to defer participation was appropriate and that the Government should take a cautious approach going forward. Can you please share your comments? 

CHIEF CABINET SECRETARY SUGA: With respect to issues like governance and debt, the Government’s policy on AIIB has been made clear. We will carefully discern what improvements are made on these issues. The Government’s opinion is the same as before.
