Liberal Democratic Party Secretary-General Motegi, who has visited three countries in South America and Europe, left Poland, which borders Ukraine, on the night of the 15th Japan time.
Reporter Momoko Abe of Fuji Television’s Political Department reports on the results of Mr. Motegi’s overseas trip, which will be promoted to “Post Kishida.”

Reporter Momoko Abe: “For Prime Minister Kishida, who held a series of summit meetings mainly with major countries to support Ukraine, Mr. Motegi interacted with children who had evacuated from Ukraine at an educational facility in Poland.”

Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Secretary-General Motegi said, “The smiling faces of the children left a strong impression on me. Japan would like to continue its support.”

Prior to this, he visited South America, which Prime Minister Kishida had not yet visited since taking office.

He also held in-depth discussions with leaders and ministers in Peru and Brazil with Russia and China in mind, complementing cooperation with the “Global South,” which the administration emphasizes.

Under these circumstances, the treatment of Motegi will be the focus of Prime Minister Kishida’s personnel reshuffle, which is expected to be carried out by autumn.

Within the government and ruling parties, there are voices who want the secretary-general to continue, saying that he has contributed a lot, and there are voices saying that Mr. Motegi, who is aiming for the post-Kishida position, should be replaced in anticipation of the 2024 presidential election. .
