Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in a statement had on Thursday promised to carry out the most sweeping reforms seen in Japan since the end of World War II.
Shinzo stated that he had a made from the Japanese people and his administration will do everythings possible to revive the economy of the state, revamp social security and guarantee the safety of the people, overhaul the agricultural sector, and ensure that women are given equality opportunity via women empowerment scheme.
However, Abe says in a statement issued in Tokyo the Japanese Capital, that His administration and Japan in general will never give in to terrorism threat and vow to fulfill His duty in the international community's fight against any form of extremist through food and other humanitarian assistance.
In his 45-minute policy speech, Abe said the people of Japan had sent him a message in last December's lower house election. "They have asked me to press forward ever more dynamically along this path, under stable political conditions," he said.
"None of the paths for these reforms will be easy, as they will be the most drastic reforms since the end of World War II. We must, however, press forward with these reforms undaunted, clearly discerning a vision for the future of Japan."
Referring to agriculture, Abe said sweeping reforms of agricultural policy can wait no longer as the average age of persons engaged in agriculture is over 60. He said the current structure of centralized cooperatives as provided for under the Agricultural Cooperatives Act will be abolished, and the Central Union of Agricultural Co-operatives (JA-ZENCHU) will become a general incorporated association.
