Prompt communication of ideas from the Government through the press, TV and other media is very important for gaining the understanding of the people on Government policies and measures. In that sense, the Briefing Room plays the important role of a place to connect the Kantei to the public.

The Briefing Room of the Kantei shares the first floor with the branch office of the Cabinet Public Relations Office, and the Kantei Photography Office.

The Briefing Room is where the press conferences of the Prime Minister and the daily press conferences of the Chief Cabinet Secretary are held.

Note that the Briefing Room is equipped with three colors of back curtain. For the Prime Minister's press conferences it is either deep blue or wine red, while for the press conferences of the Chief Cabinet Secretary it is usually light blue. Watch carefully the press conferences on the TV, and you will notice the varying colors of the back curtain.
