Abe Cabinet Two new organizations

After the establishment of the second administration, Prime Minister Abe established two new organizations in the cabinet to eliminate the vertical division of ministries and promote political-led decision making.

The “National Security Council = NSC”, which serves as a command tower for foreign policy and security policy, and the “Cabinet HR Bureau” that centrally manages the executive personnel of central government ministries and agencies.

1: National Security Council

The “National Security Council” says that it is necessary to have a system capable of responding promptly under the leadership of the Prime Minister's official residence to large-scale disasters and terrorism in addition to changes in the security environment such as China's ocean advancement and North Korea's nuclear and missile development Established in December 2013, modeled on an American NSC.

The Prime Minister is the chairman, the Foreign Minister, Defense Minister, and Chief Cabinet Secretary are members of the “4 Ministerial Meeting”, and the “9 Ministerial Meeting”, which includes the National Public Safety Commissioner and the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, etc. Make a decision.

Meetings are held not only on regular occasions, but also during ballistic missile launches by North Korea and large-scale terrorist attacks overseas, and have been held over 200 times so far.

As the secretariat that supports the conference, the National Security Bureau has been established in the Cabinet Secretariat, and approximately 80 people, including officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defense, National Police Agency, etc., have gathered information from each ministry and are conducting analysis. The

Mr. Shotaro Taniuchi from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was appointed as the first director.

The current director is Shigeru Kitamura who was from the National Police Agency and served as a Cabinet Intelligence Officer.

2: Cabinet HR Bureau

The “Cabinet Personnel Bureau” was established in May 2014 for the purpose of centrally managing the personnel of approximately 700 executives, including the secretary of the central government.

Until now, each ministry took the lead in executive personnel affairs, but now each minister examines personnel cases based on the list of candidates created by the chief secretary, and the prime minister and the secretariat. It has been decided in consultation with the Secretary.

In addition, the National Personnel Authority and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, which were part of the national civil service recruitment test and the capacity management of each administrative organization, were also transferred to the Cabinet Human Resources Bureau.

In addition, after the second Abe administration, the “Cabinet Cyber ​​Security Center” was established to collect and analyze cyber attacks and monitor unauthorized access.

Prime Minister Abe's main policy

Since the start of the second administration, Prime Minister Abe has promoted the following initiatives as the “main feature policy”.

Abenomics

The economic policy “Abenomics” aims to break away from deflation, with three monetary policies, agile fiscal policy, and a growth strategy that stimulates private investment as “three arrows”.

In particular, the Bank of Japan's “different dimension” monetary easing brought about a weaker yen and higher stock prices, and improved business performance led by exporters. Corporate profits for the previous fiscal year reached a record high of approximately 84 trillion yen.

In addition, various indicators have improved, with nominal GDP at a record high and the number of employees increasing for the sixth consecutive year. The government has been in a period of economic recovery since the start of the second Abe administration in January. Announced that it seems to be the longest after the war.

On the other hand, the target of 2% price increase has not been achieved, and the BOJ's latest forecast is that it will remain at 1.5% even in the next fiscal year.

Is it possible to realize an “economic virtuous cycle” through the development of an environment that makes it easier to invest in growth areas, such as wages are not rising as expected and corporate retained earnings continue to increase? It has become an issue.

All generation social security

In particular, the realization of discussions since autumn is the realization of a social security system for all generations.

In September, Mitsukami took the lead, and related ministers and experts established the “All-Generation Social Security Review Conference”.

At the meeting, as a low pension measure such as securing employment opportunities to work up to 70 years of age, expanding options for pension start age, prevention of illness and care to prolong healthy life expectancy, so-called `` working ice age '' generation, It is expected that discussions will be held on expanding the application of the Employees' Pension to people working in the part-time.

The conference is to compile an interim report at the end of the year and a final report by next summer, with the focus on whether it can go into a fundamental reform discussion, including a review of benefits and burdens.

Regional revitalization

“Regional Revitalization” aims to revitalize local communities facing challenges such as population decline.

Established “National Strategic Special Zones” for bold regulatory reforms in limited regions. Ten areas have been designated so far.

In addition, in order to rectify the extreme concentration of Tokyo, we have set up a system that provides a maximum of ¥ 3 million for people who move to the district from Tokyo 23 wards and find employment.

In addition, we introduced the “Corporate Furusato Tax Payment System” to reduce corporate tax, etc. of companies donated to local government initiatives that lead to regional revitalization.

The government says that these efforts have yielded results, such as the effective job offer ratio exceeding one in all prefectures.

However, the extreme concentration of Tokyo has not been resolved, and the government abandoned the goal of balancing population transfer into and out of the Tokyo area by next year.

In the future, in addition to moving to rural areas, we plan to increase the number of people who spend their weekends in rural areas while living in urban areas.

National land strengthening

As natural disasters continue, the Abe administration's keyword for disaster prevention and mitigation is “strong national land”.

In 2013, the “Basic Law on Strengthening of the National Land” was enacted, which clearly stated that infrastructure development should be advanced in preparation for large-scale disasters. The “Promotion Headquarters”, headed by the Prime Minister, was established and the Minister in charge was appointed.

We have also compiled the “National Resilience Policy Charter” that includes the maintenance and renewal of roads and bridges.

Furthermore, in response to heavy rains in West Japan last year, we have compiled a three-year “emergency measure” for disaster prevention and mitigation measures, and will conduct a total of about 7 trillion yen in the three years up to next year.

In response to a series of natural disasters including Typhoon No.19, the government and the ruling party are calling for an extension of measures and an increase in budget.

100 million total success

With the declining birthrate and aging population, the government plans to comprehensively implement policies such as work style reforms, child-rearing support, and women's active participation in order to create a society where everyone can play an active role and aim for sustainable economic growth.

As specific targets, we have set a desired fertility rate of 1.8 and zero nursing care leave, and are working to improve the treatment of childcare workers and nursing staff.

In work style reforms, a law related to work style reforms was enacted in June last year, including provisions for achieving equal wages for the same work and requiring all companies to understand working hours.

In addition, as a new mechanism to ease labor regulations, we introduced the “Advanced Professional System” that removes working hours from regulations for some high-professional professionals.

Active women

“Women active participation” is positioned as the core of the growth strategy as one of the important policies for the realization of a society with 100 million active participation.

Under the Law for Promoting the Advancement of Women in 2015, companies with more than 300 employees in addition to the national and local governments are obliged to formulate an action plan that includes numerical targets for the ratio of female employees and managers. It has been.

In addition, the revised law that was enacted in May broadens the scope of companies that must publish the employment ratio and encourages small and medium-sized companies to take action.

Against this background, the employment rate of women aged 25 to 44 exceeded 70% in 2014, and the number of women employed exceeded 30 million for the first time in June.

However, the ratio of female managers is still low, and the wage gap with men is also an issue.

Human resource development revolution

Looking ahead to the era of 100 years of life, the “Human Revolution” was set to emphasize investment in human resources.

One of the pillars is free education for preschool children, with the revenue increase from raising the consumption tax rate as a financial source, from October to 0 to 2 years old for low income households from 3 to 5 years old Regardless of the income of the household, the usage fees for licensed nurseries and kindergartens were made free of charge.

As for higher education, from April of next year, we will implement a system for exempting university entrance fees and tuition fees for households with low incomes.

Abe administration's diplomacy and security strategy

After the inauguration of the second Abe administration, in cooperation with the United States and other relevant countries, we will pursue “proactive pacifism” to address international issues such as terrorism and natural disasters. Based on fundamental values ​​such as dominance, we have set up “diplomatic views over the globe” that develop strategic diplomacy.

Based on these policies, in 2013, the government established a headquarters for foreign and security policy, the NSC = National Security Council, and its secretariat, the National Security Bureau. Was arranged.

Then, the first “National Security Strategy” was decided as the basic policy for diplomacy and defense. The security issues facing Japan included strengthening North Korea's military power and provocative action, China's rapid rise and active expansion into various areas.

In 2014, the Cabinet decided to change the interpretation of the constitution so far and allow the exercise of collective self-defense, and in September of the following year, a security-related law was enacted.

In 2016, a diplomatic concept of “free and open Indo-Pacific” aimed at securing international order based on freedom and the rule of law, freedom of navigation, and promotion of free trade in the region from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean. Was launched.

In addition, emphasizing economic diplomacy, we worked on the rules of free trade, such as TPP = Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement and EPA = Economic Partnership Agreement between Japan and EU = European Union.

172 countries and regions for foreign visits

Prime Minister Abe, who advocates “diplomatic views of the globe”, has visited 80 countries and territories in the 6th and 11th month since the second administration, totaling 172 countries and territories.

The travel distance is more than 1.55 million kilometers. It really corresponds to about 38 laps of the earth.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the number of visited countries and distance traveled is the highest ever, as long as it can be confirmed.

The most visited is 16 times in the United States.

There were 18 countries visited during the first administration, a total of 20 countries.

On the other hand, the number of countries visited by the Prime Minister is Noda in 10 countries, a total of 16 countries, Mr. Tsuji in 7 countries, a total of 8 countries, Mr. Hatoyama in 8 countries, a total of 11 countries, Mr. Aso There are 12 countries, 15 countries in total, Mr. Fukuda in 9 countries, 10 countries in total, and Mr. Koizumi, including two visits to North Korea, 49 countries and regions, 81 countries and regions, etc. It has become.

Diplomatic strategy America

The most important aspect of bilateral relations is the allied country, the United States.

The government has sought to further strengthen Japan-US relations with the recognition that the security environment surrounding Japan is becoming increasingly severe, including the development of nuclear and missiles by North Korea and the advancement of China into the ocean.

Prime Minister Abe believes that the Japan-US alliance is stronger than ever because he has strengthened personal trust with President Trump, who took office in 2017, through summit meetings, dinners, and golf.

In addition to maintaining sanctions for the denuclearization of North Korea in cooperation with the United States, the government is promoting security cooperation with Asian countries and other countries with the aim of realizing a “free and open Indo-Pacific”. The

On the other hand, President Trump showed a stance that the trade deficit with Japan was a problem, and a new trade negotiation between Japan and the United States was held, and a final agreement was reached in September.

China

When Prime Minister Abe started the second administration, Japan-China relations were cold due to the influence of the nationalization of the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture, which was conducted by the previous Noda administration.

For the government, Japan-China relations are one of the most important bilateral relations, and it was necessary to improve the relations.

As a result, in November 2014, it achieved for the first time of the summit meeting with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Xi Jinping Jintao. They agreed to return to the “strategic reciprocal relationship” launched in the first administration and improve the relationship.

Last year, Prime Minister Abe visited China as Prime Minister of Japan for the first time in seven years, and held a summit meeting with Prime Minister Lee Keqiang.

He confirmed the new principles of “coordination from competition”, “partners not threats” and “development of a free and fair trade system”.

In June, Mr. Xi visited Japan for the first time in 8 years and 7 months as President of the State, and held a summit meeting with Prime Minister Abe.

The Japanese and Chinese governments believe that the relationship between the two countries has returned to a normal trajectory and intend to continue high-level mutual traffic to further strengthen the relationship.

Russia

Prime Minister Abe has consistently aimed to strengthen relations with Russia.

In 2013, the first Japanese Prime Minister visited Russia for the first time in 10 years and met with President Putin. After the war, we shared the recognition that the state without a peace treaty was abnormal and agreed to resume the treaty negotiations.

And at the summit meeting in 2016, we showed a policy of proceeding with negotiations based on a “new idea approach” to create a solution that can be accepted by both parties, and at a meeting in Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture in December. Agreed to start negotiations on a special system for joint economic activities in the Northern Islands.

Furthermore, at the summit meeting in November last year, it was agreed to accelerate negotiations based on the 1956 joint declaration between Japan and the Soviet Union that said, “After handing over the peace treaty and handing over the Tohmai Islands and Shikotan Island”, the Northern Territories The gap between the two sovereignty sovereignty is not filled, and negotiations continue.

Korea

Japan-Korea relations deteriorated in 2012, when President Lee Myung-bak (Ling Ming-Hak) landed on Takeshima in Shimane Prefecture, but in 2015, the 50th anniversary of normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and Korea, The summit meeting of President Park Kun-hee at that time was realized and improved, and at that year's Japan-Korea Foreign Ministers' meeting, we agreed on the final resolution of the comfort women issue, the biggest concern between the two countries.

However, when President Moon Jae-in took office, the Korean Supreme Court issued a ruling that ordered Japanese companies to compensate for the issue of “recruitment” during the Pacific War. The relationship between the two countries has been steadily worsening, such as the announcement of the unilateral dissolution of the foundation supporting women and the irradiation of radar from Korean military destroyers to the SDF patrol aircraft. I'm following.

North Korea

Regarding North Korea, based on the 2002 Pyongyang Declaration of the North Korea, the basic policy is to comprehensively resolve various issues such as abductions, nuclear weapons, and missiles, and to normalize diplomatic relations.

Regarding the abduction issue, in 2014, North Korea reconfirmed its previous position that the abduction issue has been resolved in a talk held in Stockholm, Sweden. We promised a full survey of Japanese missing persons, including

However, North Korea responded that the government strengthened its own sanctions following the launch of North Korea's nuclear tests and ballistic missiles, and unilaterally announced the cancellation of the investigation and the dismantling of the Special Investigation Committee. The situation aimed at shows a deadlock.

In addition, over the nuclear and missile issues, the government is aiming for complete, verifiable and irreversible disposal of CVID, and is maintaining sanctions based on UN Security Council resolutions in cooperation with the United States and South Korea.

Prime Minister Abe emphasized the idea of ​​maintaining “pressure” such as sanctions until North Korea took concrete action, saying that “there is no meaning in dialogue for dialogue”. However, Kim Jong-un, Kim Jong-un, the chairman of the Korean Labor Party, has expressed his intention to realize the Japan-North Korea summit meeting without any preconditions, taking into account the abduction issue.
