Regarding the fact that the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, visited China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Secretary-General Matsuno pointed out that the international community has disputed whether freedom of movement has been fully granted. He expressed his intention to keep an eye on future discussions.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, stayed in China for six days from the 23rd of this month and visited the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where concerns have been raised over the human rights situation from Europe and the United States.
Regarding this, Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno said at a press conference in the morning, "Whether the Commissioner's freedom of movement, access to related facilities, contact without supervision, etc. were sufficiently granted, and allegations of serious human rights violations are dispelled. There have been many disagreements from the international community as to whether or not it was. "
On that basis, "I believe that the visit must be evaluated firmly, and we will continue to pay close attention to the future of discussions. At the same time, Japan will continue to allow independent observers to freely access the site to China. We urge you to take more positive and concrete actions, including transparent explanations. "
