Sanae Takaichi

Absolutely unacceptable

This visit can only be said to have further hardened anti-Russia sentiment within Japan and made medium- to long-term recovery of relations more difficult.

The Takaichi administration has made tackling rising prices its top priority,

There appears to be a view that the Takaichi administration is neglecting measures to address the rising cost of living affecting the public, and instead prioritizing the pursuit of its own political convictions. That is not how I see it,

The Northern Territories are an inherent part of Japan's territory, both historically and under international law.

Moreover, it wounds the feelings of the Japanese people and is absolutely unacceptable.

I hope that the Russian side will take the gravity of this matter very seriously.

We will work steadily to realize a world without nuclear weapons.

Japan understands the inhumanity of nuclear arms more than any other country because it is the only nation attacked with nuclear weapons.

I would step down immediately if the ruling bloc fails to secure a majority in the upcoming House of Representatives election.

Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly threatening and do not wait for one of the world’s highest levels of cyber defense or our preparations.

The needs on the ground are constantly changing. To put to rest the people's feelings of uncertainty, we will do all that needs to be done.

The government will work tirelessly through the night to swiftly assess the overall damage situation and carry out emergency disaster response measures, starting with the rescue and lifesaving of those affected.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the disaster.

We will go all out to find and rescue as many people as we can.

There are people who are still waiting to be rescued, and it's a race against time.

Japan’s lack of a law criminalizing disrespectful handling of its own national flag is wrong.

My administration aims to expand the use of domestic biomass to reduce our reliance on specific countries and regions for materials and energy.

The unparalleled historic fact that the imperial line has been maintained through the male line for 126 generations is the foundation of the emperor's authority and legitimacy.
