Reform of the Cabinet “Safety for All” Mr. Takeda, National Public Safety Commissioner's appointment, September 11, 12:55

Mr. Ryota Takeda, who has been appointed as the chairman of the National Public Security Committee, responded to a reporter's interview before leaving the Akasaka parliamentary dormitory in Tokyo.

“I have assumed an important responsibility to protect the public from crime and disaster. I want to meet the expectations of Prime Minister Abe.”

He said, “I want to provide safety for all people because there are many tourists coming from overseas such as the Rugby World Cup starting this month and next year ’s Olympics.”

After that, Mr. Takeda, who entered the House of Representatives, was busy responding to congratulatory communications from local supporters.

Mr. Takeda said, “Since yesterday, there have been calls and emails, and there have been over 100 cases. My mobile phone did n’t stop ringing and I ’m sorry I could n’t respond. I was glad that my friend said "I was waiting for this day".
