The analysis that Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga did not get along well with the leaders of other countries at the G7 summit and was isolated is drawing attention among Japanese netizens.
Japanese-speaking Twitter user '@toubennbenn' posted a video of G7 leaders meeting and taking a commemorative photo in the UK on the 11th local time, and commented, "Suga has a sense of international isolation without talking to anyone."
The video shows G7 leaders, including Prime Minister Suga and US President Joe Biden, from entering to take a commemorative photo on a stage set on a beach in Cornwall, England, until they exit after filming.
However, Prime Minister Suga was not seen talking with other leaders during the photo shoot, and it was in clear contrast to the other leaders who exchanged conversations.
For example, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was caught talking with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, President Biden had a shoulder-to-shoulder conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen listened to the conversation. They were seen moving together while tilting the .
@toubennbenn wrote that Prime Minister Suga is "isolating the country. It's also Corona".
The source of the video is not indicated, but considering that British media such as The Telegraph and The Guardian also used a video containing the same scene, it is presumed that the original is an official video of the organizer or a video of a joint coverage group.
Another Twitter user, @grafico_kenzo, tweeted a photo of Prime Minister Suga and President Moon with arrows in a photo of Prime Minister Suga alone behind him while G7 summit participants, including President Moon Jae-in, were gathered and smiling brightly. I posted it and wrote, "The difference in communication skills."
The Japanese press is raising similar questions.
The Mainichi Shimbun evaluated today (15th) that showing his presence remains a task for Prime Minister Suga, who attended the first face-to-face international conference this time.
The newspaper also featured a Reuters photo of Prime Minister Suga standing alone at a distance and depressed while the leaders of other countries chatted at a reception.
