Opening Remarks

Visit to Ibaraki, Fukushima, and Miyagi

Good morning.

I would like to mention one point.

I will be visiting Ibaraki, Fukushima, and Miyagi Prefectures from tomorrow, the 29th, to the 31st.

In Ibaraki, I will visit a site that manufactures equipment for nuclear power, a source of decarbonized energy which is essential for GX (green transformation.) I will also inspect a research facility there.

In Fukushima, I will visit a Specified Reconstruction and Revitalization Base and vaccine manufacturing base, and hold a roundtable discussion with fishery business operators

In Sendai, I plan to exchange views with business representatives in the Tohoku region.

Thank you for your attention.
