Full text of general discussion speech.
Under the chairmanship and chairman of Prime Minister Abe's General Speech at the 74th UN General Assembly, the United Nations celebrates its 75th anniversary. I would like to recall that my country, Japan, has left an unwavering footprint in that it is committed to the UN philosophy and trying to do its best.
The United Nations, which has been around for three and a half centuries since its founding, requires structural reform that focuses on the transformation of the Security Council. I would like to aim for early realization. Japan will also stand in the 2022 election and will once again gain the support of many countries, and will serve as a non-permanent member of the Security Council, striving to further realize the UN philosophy.
Thank you for your strong support. In Japan, a new imperial majesty became the throne, and the ceremonies of the emperor himself proclaiming it in and out approached on the 22nd of next month. Former heads and leaders have come from 200 countries and institutions, and they are celebrating the beginning of a new era. The Japanese people will make this an unprecedented opportunity and rethink the role Japan has for the world. In my country, the time when long-lasting economic downturns brought people's attention inward was a thing of the past.
The Rugby World Cup, where the fierce battle continues right now, Tokyo will open next year, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, World Expo 2025 hosted by Osaka Yen, and the Japanese calendar will make people aware of the strong bonds with the world and bring people's eyes out A special note on the date for the future. Please understand that the new philosophers who can rely on the UN philosophy are being created.
Also remember the meeting coming to Japan next April. The 14th meeting of the UN Criminal Justice Council, the so-called “Congress”, held once every five years, led by the United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime, is held in Kyoto. It was the first time in 50 years since Japan was the first meeting outside Europe in 1970. Kyoto, full of cherry blossoms, will be happy to welcome law enforcement professionals.
What I have just said is closely related to what Japan places importance on in relation to the world. It is important to nurture the power of each human being, and therefore respect education. Japan will continue today to seek the essence of contributions that can be made to the world.
Even for law enforcement specialists who gather in Kyoto this time, Japan called for its role to continue to nurture, rather than calling it once. In 1962, Japan built the United Nations's first specialized agency in Tokyo, with the primary focus on improving crime prevention knowledge.
Established as the first head of the late Norval Morris, who was named the UN Asia Far East Crime Prevention Training Institute and was a world-renowned criminologist, the institution had a huge number of “graduates” by the end of September this year. I am born.
More than 5900 people. The breakdown is, for example, 2949 from Asia and 678 from Africa. Last March. Malara Yusufzai, who visited Tokyo, looked straight into my eyes and said, “Without a minimum of 12 years of education, it is difficult to master modern technology, but there are 100 million girls who do not have the opportunity. There are also people. " If all girls go through secondary education, she says that their contribution to the world economy is as much as $ 30 trillion.
I called Mr. Marara because I wanted to shed light on policies that empower women and girls in front of the G20 Osaka Summit, which I preside over in June. The world will only shine if women are able to demonstrate their potential. Isn't it natural?
Japan, where the labor participation rate for women has grown significantly, feels this fact every day. It is my pleasure that the G20 was able to draw Ms. Marara's claims in both the summit declaration and the annex.
We pledged to “promote inclusive and quality education for all girls and women”. Japan always wants to run the lead in this endeavor.
I would like to introduce an example from Tanzania. When I was about 30 years old, Juma Ikangar was one of the runners who showed overwhelming ability in the Tokyo Marathon. Mr. Ikangar, who thinks Japan is his second home, will return to his home country Tanzania and become a public relations ambassador for the Japanese government's aid organization, JICA.
I was transferred from Japan to Miwa Ito, a woman with a lot of action. Two people join forces. Mr. Ito received support from 13 Japanese companies, and Mr. Ikangar was the first women's athletics tournament in the country's history to find and hold a girl who could become the future Olympian. It is November 2017.
Invited 1,000 female elementary and junior high school students who live nearby to the auditorium. I did not just see it. They were given teaching materials to prevent young pregnancy. There was also the purpose of reading this.
A girl's junior high school named “Sakura” was opened in January 2016 in Arusha, Tanzania, in the area where the Masai people live, hoping for the high peak of Kilimanjaro in the east and northeast. In order to provide students with a safe and secure environment, the school has a dormitory system. The first 24 students increased to 162 this spring.
The Japanese government is supporting with funds. However, it is operated by Japan and local NGOs. Teaches STEM and teaches how to prevent unwanted pregnancy. I also know that in Cambodia, a Japanese entrepreneur is trying to improve his education with his own ideas. They send experienced science and mathematics teachers from Japan and coach young men and women to become teachers in Cambodia.
Named “Teachers Without Borders”. From the purely intrinsic motivation, without asking for anyone's approval, I saw how the Japanese private people were thus committed to educating young people, especially girls, in Tanzania, Cambodia, I remember what was washed.
The Government of Japan will provide substantial education to at least 9 million children and young people over the next three years, targeting Sub-Saharan African countries and Asian countries. In Sri Lanka, so-called e-learning is aimed at elementary school students and Rwanda will also expand science and mathematics education using the Internet.
However, it must be said that these are projects that are greatly inspired by the efforts of the private people. Mr. Chairman, I will be in general discussion at this venue, this is the seventh time in a row. During this time, I have consistently stressed the importance of empowering women and girls and the significance of making healthcare universal.
This year, I also spoke at a separate meeting on both agenda items. At the same time, I would like to emphasize that Japan's external involvement looks at the essence of the importance of education. Japan is “FP”. I want Foster Power.
At the end, I would like to make three short points. first. About North Korea. Japan supports President Trump's approach.
The way the leaders open their chest collars and look at the future and try to solve the task at hand has changed the dynamics of North Korea. I myself am determined to face Kim Jong Un chairman directly without any conditions. The unchanging goal is to achieve a normalization of diplomatic relations by comprehensively resolving issues such as abduction, nuclear weapons, and missiles, and clearing the unfortunate past.
second. Share concerns about the Middle East situation. The attack on the Saudi oil facility was a sneaky crime that hostages the international economic order. I am pleased with the statement that Iran ’s chief professor Hamenei directly told me that there were three denials about the nuclear power, namely, “I do n’t have, do n’t make, do n’t use” as a fatter. This morning, we had a ninth meeting with President Rouhani. It is my unchanging role to ask Iran for power based on its rich history.
Third, and finally, Japan uses a multi-framework and globalism to reduce inequality. Following TPP and Japan EU / EPA, RCEP is trying to put together by Japanese traction. The world is more connected. The more people get out of poverty. In recent years I have presided over the G7 and G20 three African Development Conferences and have once again proved their role in the multi-framework.
You can recall that “quality infrastructure” and “free and open Indo-Pacific” have been added to the dictionary of the international community. Japan's African Development Conference TICAD was reborn as “New TICAD” this year. This is because the language that speaks of Africa in the future should be all about investment and growth.
In fact, the “Business Forum” held in parallel was full of enthusiasm and enthusiasts in Africa and Japan. I could feel that new investment projects and new projects were born.
The changes in Africa encourage us. After all, the world changes. It can be changed by our efforts. I would like to finish the discussion, saying that the main synagogue is a place to confirm that determination. thank you for listening.
