Opposition steps up criticism of Takaichi for skipping last month’s G7 meeting
Parties said the explanations for the prime minister's absence were vague and aim to use it to grill the administration.
Opposition parties are growing increasingly critical of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for missing a virtual Group of Seven summit in early October. The opposition is unhappy with Takaichi's lack of clarity regarding her absence and the Foreign Ministry's explanation. Some suspect Takaichi's decision to skip the G7 talks was due to her attending a dinner with LDP Vice President Taro Aso and other party officials at her official residence prior to the summit.
