On the night of the 8th, Prime Minister Kishida met with former Prime Minister Mori, who had a close relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and exchanged opinions on how to deal with Russia, which continues its military invasion of Ukraine.
The meeting was held for about an hour and a half while eating at a Chinese restaurant in Tokyo, and was attended by former LDP Minister Matsuyama, who was in charge of total success.
According to the attendees, at the meeting, Mr. Mori exchanged opinions on the response to Russia, which continues to invade Ukraine based on the fact that Mr. Mori had a friendship with President Putin since the time of Prime Minister. ..
In addition, Mr. Mori requested Prime Minister Kishida to attend the conference as the head of the host organization of the "Asia-Pacific Water Summit", an international conference to be held in Kumamoto City later this month.
This is the first time Prime Minister Kishida has met with Mr. Mori since he took office.
