The LDP Presidential Election
Yoshimasa Hayashi, Chief Cabinet Secretary

09:45-10:15, Monday, September 9, 2024
Language: The speech and Q & A will be in English.

Yoshimasa Hayashi, known within the Liberal Democratic Party as the go-to guy for solving difficult problems, is not as flashy as some other candidates running for the LDP presidency. But the Tokyo University and Harvard-educated Hayashi has extensive experience in ministerial and key party posts, including as foreign minister and now chief cabinet secretary under Prime Minister Fumio Kishida whose political faction he was also an integral part of. Please join us as Hayashi presents his policy platform and the challenges facing Japan.
