Ministry of Foreign Affairs to expand video conference system New Coronavirus April 5 4:53
With the spread of the new coronavirus worldwide, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs intends to expand the capabilities of videoconferencing systems to provide a means of communicating with the international community.
The spread of the new coronavirus worldwide has restricted human traffic and has forced international conferences to be canceled or postponed.
Instead, key negotiations between key nations continue using the video conferencing system, and last month G7 = the leaders and foreign ministers of the seven major nations and G20 = the leaders of the 20 major nations held a video conference. I did it.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs plans to expand the functions of the videoconferencing system, stating that it is necessary to secure a means of communicating with the international community when the outbreak of infection is not expected.
Foreign Minister Mogi said, "If only the voice of the phone is used, I don't know who is raising my hand. I'd like to have a video conference as the infection is spreading."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has decided to include the necessary expenses in this year's supplementary budget.
