Prime Minister KAN's BLOG "Looking Squarely at the Future" (Posted on April 13)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"As the tense situation continues, moving from excessive self- restraint to a design of reconstruction"
Since the Great East Japan Earthquake struck, I have held back from sending out my thoughts through my blog. This was to avoid confusion amidst the ongoing flurry of large amounts of information, while I dedicated myself entirely to responses to the disaster. With a tense situation continuing even now, a month since the disaster toward the future while I will continue to devote my energies to responses to the earthquake disaster and the nuclear accidents, I will resume blogging little by little. At yesterday's press conference, I called on the public to refrain from a mood of excessive self-restraint while maintaining a spirit of thoughtful compassion towards the disaster-stricken areas. A mood of excessive self-restraint could reduce consumption and dampen the business activity of Japan as a whole. Conversely, purchasing products from disaster-stricken areas and enjoying them would help support the affected areas.
Tomorrow the Reconstruction Design Council will hold its first session. Professor Takeshi Umehara, Special Advisor to the Meeting, and I will join with the 15 committee members to launch discussions that look squarely to the future.
