A farmer’s son long known as Abe’s back-room fixer, Suga is set for an overwhelming victory in the party election. He could win over 60% of the 535 votes up for grabs.
Beijing and Pyongyang rapidly expanding arsenal of advanced rockets, designed to evade and destroy allied bases, is a problem for Tokyo, which has an exclusively defence security stance.

Indians made mistakes in 2014 & 2019…..2024?
Japanese aren’t Indians
The minister should stick to his brief and not get into advising foreign investors. His worldview is completely different from those thinking of investing their wealth and expertise. Nobody will come to India if they find it easier to do business elsewhere with higher returns. In India once a company sets up business out becomes captive to local authorities who treat it as a mulch cow going to the extent of changing the rules of the game midway. Indian governments need to do a lot more to make India an attractive place for doing business. Even the pricing and availability of reliable electricity is enough to put off investors leave alone cumbersome regulations. Time for Dr. Jaishankar to speak to his own cabinet colleagues to work on that which is in their ambit and control rather then trying to influence that on which he has no control.
