Regarding the Agency for Cultural Affairs to relocate to Kyoto, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Suematsu said that it was difficult for all departments planning to relocate to complete the move during the next fiscal year and the 4th fiscal year of Reiwa due to the delay in the new office building. I made it clear.
The Agency for Cultural Affairs, which will move to Kyoto, is scheduled to start operations next year and during the 4th year of Reiwa. It will be delayed from the end of August next year to the end of December next year.
In response to this, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Suematsu considered how to respond at a press conference after the cabinet meeting, and as a result, it became difficult for all departments planning to relocate to finish the move within the next fiscal year. I made it clear.
However, some departments will move in March 5th year of Reiwa, aiming to start operations in Kyoto next year.
Minister Suematsu said, "We will continue to steadily prepare for the relocation while further strengthening cooperation and cooperation with related parties, including Kyoto Prefecture and Kyoto City."
