Tomorrow (14th), the Liberal Democratic Party governor will be decided in Japan to succeed Prime Minister Abe.
Secretary Yoshihide Suga is sure to be elected, but it seems that he will continue his strong stance toward us by saying that he will discuss diplomatic matters with Prime Minister Abe.
This is Tokyo's correspondent Yoo Seong-jae.
<Reporter> The
ruling Liberal Democratic Party of Japan will hold a general meeting of the lawmakers tomorrow afternoon to elect the next governor.
Suga's overwhelming victory is expected as 290 people, more than 70% of the members of the National Assembly, expressed their support for the Secretary of State Suga and secured majority support in 47 district votes.
After Prime Minister Abe's announcement of resignation on the 28th of last month, five major factions, including Hosodapa, the largest faction, declared their support early and solidified the market.
Minister Suga has been involved in the main policies of the Abe regime for seven years and eight months, but has little diplomatic experience.
As if conscious of this, he said he would communicate with neighboring countries such as South Korea and China, but he also said he would seek diplomatic advice from the outgoing Prime Minister Abe.
[Suga / Secretary of State: I think continuity is important in diplomacy. Of course, I will go in consultation with (Prime Minister Abe).] It is
predicted that the Abe regime's strong stance against the regime will continue in the Suga regime.
Minister Suga quickly stepped back, saying that the Abe regime might raise the consumption tax that it raised to 10% last year was controversial.
The president of the Liberal Democratic Party, who is elected tomorrow, will become prime minister at the extraordinary National Assembly on the 16th.
When the new Prime Minister disbands the National Assembly and goes to the general election, the biggest concern in Japanese politics is now.
