In response to the completion of former Prime Minister Abe's "state funeral", Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Isozaki indicated that he would consider a specific schedule and content for verification of a series of responses by the government.
Regarding the "state funeral" of former Prime Minister Abe held on the 27th, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Isozaki said at a press conference, "There were many attendees from Japan and overseas, and it was a solemn and heartfelt ceremony that could respond to the condolences of many people. I was able to hold the 'national funeral' safely. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude."
He explained that 4,183 people attended the ``national funeral'' and 25,889 people visited the public offering of flowers.
After that, regarding the verification of the series of responses by the government, which is said to be conducted after the "national funeral," he said, "I am aware that there are various opinions regarding the" national funeral. We will look into it later,” he said.
On the other hand, regarding the voices from both the ruling and opposition parties pointing out the need to create standards for implementing ``state funerals,'' ``the way funerals for those who have served as prime ministers are determined by the Cabinet at that time is based on comprehensive consideration of various circumstances. Then, each time, I judged the appropriate form. This is what it should be."
