I am very proud of everyone who showed Japan’s ability to the world’s strongest players at the World Cup held here in Japan for the first time in Asia.
The 20th Century was a century in which human rights were infringed upon in numerous parts of the world, and Japan also bears responsibility in that regard.
I believe it is important that we Japanese write a constitution for ourselves that would reflect the shape of the country we consider desirable in the 21st century.
We will bring together the strengths of the Self-Defense Forces and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to further accelerate the enlightenment work toward road restoration as soon as possible.
In order to realize a world free of nuclear weapons, we must fulfill our mission to pass on the memories of the atomic bomb across national borders and generations without fading.
