In Japan, the average age of agricultural workers is 65.8. When the aging of its population is accelerating so rapidly, it will be very difficult to sustain the sector whether we liberalize trade or not.

In fact, the Senkaku Islands are... inherent territory of Japan that is recognized in our history and also by international law.

When the world has 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 nuclear plants, can we call that a safe world? I think we need to properly have this debate.

It is possible for Japan to become the model of a society that does not rely on nuclear power.

I believe in any country, matters that relate to its territory would, of course, provoke strong sentiments amongst the people of that country.

So, Japan as a country has lost its vigor, it feels very much closed in for various reasons.

The safest nuclear power or energy policy is to realize 'zero nuclear power.
