Tokyo: Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae spoke with NHK about her plans for the government.
She said: “I think the current Cabinet is a good team. It’s still only just over three months since it was launched, but the members have been working really hard and are producing results. So I don’t think I will change it. Most parties are in favor of reducing the consumption tax, such as reducing the tax on food items to zero, or to 5 percent, or reducing the tax on all items to 5 percent. The LDP has also campaigned for a consumption tax cut. I strongly want to call for the establishment of a supra-party forum to speed up discussion on this, as it is a big issue.”
