I think it is the responsibility of anyone involved in politics to always think of what Japan can do to contribute more to the peace and stability not just of Japan and the region but of the entire world.
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.
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.
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.
