Prime Minister Abe's intention to resign Governor Koike of Tokyo "It's a real shame" August 16th 16:45

At the press conference, Governor Koike of Tokyo said that Prime Minister Abe had decided to resign. "It would be very disappointing. The measures against the new coronavirus, the Olympics and Paralympics, etc. should be done in cooperation with the government. There are many themes that need to be pursued. I would like to continue working firmly with the government while checking what the future will look like and the contents of the press."

In addition, Governor Koike said, "Prime Minister Abe invited the Olympic and Paralympic Games and brought about a major economic recovery. Above all, it was a great achievement to have promoted various collaborations in the world, including the G7 = the seven major countries. I think the prime minister Abe, who is a world-renowned leader, is about to go into service, but by re-organizing what should be given top priority, Japan and Tokyo can walk firmly. I think we need a system."

"The success of the Olympic and Paralympic Games is an important issue for Japan and Tokyo and must be promoted nationally," he said.
