Prime Minister Ishiba Set to Participate in United Nations General Assembly Meeting

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is set to visit New York from September 19 to 21, attending the United Nations General Assembly session. During his visit, Ishiba is scheduled to deliver a speech during the general debate, emphasizing the importance of an international order based on multilateralism and the rule of law.

In light of intensifying divisions and conflicts around the world, Ishiba's speech will also touch on Japan's efforts to promote international peace. The speech may include his views on the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, as well as his plans to overhaul the United Nations Security Council.

Ishiba's speech will come at a critical time, as the U.N. Security Council has come under criticism for failing to properly address crises such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The visit and speech are expected to be a significant opportunity for Ishiba to voice Japan's stance on global issues and contribute to the international community.

In addition to delivering his speech, Ishiba plans to hold bilateral talks with other world leaders during his visit. While no specific names have been announced, these talks are expected to be an important part of Ishiba's mission to strengthen Japan's diplomatic relations and promote peace and cooperation on the global stage.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi announced the visit on Friday. Ishiba's visit to New York marks his first trip abroad since becoming Prime Minister, and is a testament to Japan's commitment to playing a leading role in addressing global challenges and promoting a more peaceful and stable world.
