To promote the acceptance of refugees from Ukraine, Foreign Minister Hayashi will leave for Poland on the night of April 1 as a special envoy of Prime Minister Kishida.
After understanding the needs of refugees locally, we are considering accepting those who wish to enter Japan on a government aircraft when the minister returns.
In order to promote the acceptance of refugees from Ukraine, the government initially planned to send Minister of Justice Furukawa to Poland as a special envoy of Prime Minister Kishida, but it was judged that he became a close contact with the new Corona infected person, so he replaced it. Foreign Minister Hayashi will be dispatched to.
Minister Hayashi will depart from Haneda Airport for Poland on the night of April 1st on a government plane, as scheduled.
He will stay there until the beginning of the week to visit facilities that accept refugees and hear from NGOs who are supporting refugees.
He also wants to get an accurate picture of the needs of refugees by meeting with Polish government officials.
The government is considering accepting the desired refugees into Japan on a government aircraft when the minister returns, and is also working to improve the support system after entering Japan, such as securing accommodation and paying living expenses. ..
