Prime Minister NODA's BLOG

May 26, 2012, at the joint press conference following the Pacific Islands Leaders' Meeting (PALM)

"Due to reconstruction from the earthquake disaster and various other factors, Japan faces a harsh financial situation. Yet I feel that this must not cause us to be inward-looking. I want for Japan to continue to be a country that contributes to global prosperity and stability, without falling into introversion."
