Regarding the response to the six members of the Science Council of Japan who were not appointed two years ago, Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno said that he would not redo the appointment procedure, and that he would seek a solution while proceeding with the selection of candidates for the next term to be held next year. He showed the recognition that considering it is one of the options.
The Science Council of Japan repeatedly requested that Chairman Kajita be prepared to submit a list of six members to the government and redo the appointment procedure because the six members he recommended were not appointed two years ago during the Kan administration. I am asking for it.
At a press conference on the 12th, Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno reiterated the government's position that the appointment procedure at that time had already been completed and there would be no redoing.
After that, he said to Chairman Kajita, ``It may be an idea to think about a solution while proceeding with the selection of candidates for the next term.'' I would like to do so.' I would like to respond positively to future-oriented dialogue based on the government's position."
