Prime Minister's Direction on Economic Measures Liberal Democratic Party Chairman `` Strict Discussion Within the Party '' March 14:11 on March 17

Following the spread of the new coronavirus, Prime Minister Abe met with the Liberal Democratic Party's Liberal Democratic Party chairman, Kishida, at the official residence of the Prime Minister, and instructed him to "consolidate his economic measures."

After this, Kishida told reporters, "We have broadly agreed on various issues. We want to have a firm discussion within the party."

It seems likely that the talks involved discussions on benefits and tax cuts, and the LDP will be working on additional economic measures later this month.
