Those are the 2 masses that the report to the public into account now dont let be talk about my own health. 13 years ago my. Chronic disease close relative has emerged one year abruptly i needed to step down as a Prime Minister back then i caused the musts of troubles to the public and then. We had a new drug week i was ready i was healthy with the support of the public once again i decided to take on a significant responsibility as a Prime Minister. During 80 years i controlled my chronic disease without any issues. I. Kept on the focus in on my job as a Prime Minister on a daily basis i put all of their fault however this year in journey i had regular check up there was a sign of the disease that was what my doctor said. I have been using my drugs and i put all of their thought for my job as a Prime Minister in a. Mid last month there was some condition in my Health Condition and i was. Short of my health invest. In a cultivated resurgence was the most going forward. On top of the drug until you. Be taking the new drug. Earlier this week in the check up. That there was a sea of drug it was confirmed however we need to have i need to have of. The continuous the Drug Administration so i cannot lose focus on my treatment what is most important in the politics is to deliver on the results since the inauguration of the other news ration for the 7 years and 8 months. In order to generate the outcomes. I prowled all the stops for my job as a Prime Minister. I needed to fight against the disease and be treated i was not really in the perfect state in terms of the Health Condition and still. I have to make political decisions that are important once. I cannot make any mistake in terms of the importance of this young making you know the support of the public is have to respond to your. So im not ready to respond to the mandate by the public when i made a judgment should not continue my job as a Prime Minister. I decided to step down as a Prime Minister of. The most significant challenge for us is the countermeasures against our corner where else. We have to avoid any obstacles when it comes to fight against the corner virus. Or the past a month that was the only focus heard. Already or struggled to make this done i see the downward trend in infection after july and also. Winter then theres a study measures have been put together. Therefore. Under the new leadership. Challenge challenges should be addressed and this is the only timing where does leadership change should be happening. For the past 7 years and then 2 months. We have addressed. Of variety of challenges that there are a lot of challenges we havent completely under some time. There are some achievements and there are some of. My own storms that we hit. In order to. Respond to the mandate. That all that youve meant are thanks to the public and people with a plan i really want to extend my appreciation to the people which upon but. Despite all the support. Even though i have. One year to go in my tenure. And with the other challenges the have not been addressed yet. Amid the crime the virus outbreak. I decided to step down as the Prime Minister. To send my apologies to the people. Of the right that. I wasnt able to solve or that some issues involving tauted nationals it is indeed us also to grant the peace treaty last year situation amendment. Im going to leave my status without chewing over those. Targets. It is indeed. We are ok that is. I dont know who has officially resigned now as Prime Minister of japan just to recap what he said. He said there to for the past 7 years and 8 months he has sought to control his disease also a lot of kaleidoscope a very painful condition a chronic condition of the bowel he said in june check up showed signs of the disease returning in the middle of last month all sorts of classes reemerged in earnest that he will now be taking a new drug but this must be continuously monitored he went on to say that hes pulled out all the stops in his job as Prime Minister. And even when hes not the perfect state of health he still has to make important decisions in the job. Because of that he said he has decided to step down of as Prime Minister he then reflected on his 7 years and 8 months in office the successes and failures and then went on to apologize to the people of japan for having to take this move lets bring in katrina you who is monitoring this from beijing katrina sins are big theyre really framing this as a nation for the people that he needs to be in 100 Percent Health to continue in this role the need just doesnt feel like he can do that. Thats right and its at a time kim when dupin is facing a lot of challenges as you mentioned at the beginning of his speech its still struggling to deal with the core of the 19 outbreak at the same time that has a lot of challenges when it comes to its flagging economy so says the other basically admitting that he is no longer able to keep up with the challenges and the responsibilities of the job and theres a big shock to the japanese people a sense because he is the longest serving japanese leader of modern times but at the same time not so much a surprise because we have had swirling speculation about his worsening health for the past few months now that we nor in august he made at least 2 visits to the hospital recently because of what you mentioned his quality illness it with his intestinal problems which is all source of collectivist this is actually the same illness that forced him to give up the position to to stop his 1st term in 2007 after only one year as president because of this illness and he came back in 2012 you returned to power saying that at the time his condition had improved also there were some new medicines that then allowed him to come to power and come back strong and take up this responsibility but it seems clear that he never fully recovered from this issue which has been a bothering him for years now and as you mentioned in june this year reemerged and has gotten progressively worse over the past few months and it is a special week for just on monday he was actually announced as the longest serving leader japanise had in recent days just over 2800. 00 days consecutively in power so quite a milestone on the other person who is beaten that record or he actually beat the record of his uncle who who made that who had held that record for half a century now it is look also surprising because those who were close to him in the liberal Democratic Party actually had been saying. In the weeks leading up to this and even as recently as this week that nor should the is going to the hospital but hes still ok you still going to serve out the rest of his term which was not supposed to finish until september of next year so all of a sudden were hearing this announcement 1st reported by japanese state media just a few hours ago did in fact come as a shock and of course japanese people now are looking forward and saying ok what happens next and what will happen we know is that theres going to be a vote from his ruling party the liberal Democratic Party to choose a successor and reportedly shinzo are these at least going to remain in power until a successor is tourism and some names have been bandied about some of the front runners are the deputy pm whos also the finance minister. And also the chief cabinet minister which is you know shahid asuka those seem to be the frontrunners but as i mentioned earlier whoever does take up his position will have to continue with what she admitted to be himself Unfinished Business as a part of his leadership which includes kind to really resurrected the struggling japanese economy is all as well as trying to eliminate finally 1000 which is still very much a problem. Ok thank you for that katrina you them monitoring the situation from beijing as we heard johns obvious that it was a difficult decision to resign from office praeger gupta takes a look back at his political career. So. 7 for most of the century shouldnt be just dont need to japans politics he comes from an influential political didnt see his grandfather was Prime Minister as for the foreign minister. The conservative politician rose through the ranks of his liberal Democratic Party and became japans youngest Prime Minister since world war 2 in 2006 but thats didnt ended the full year due to help. 5 years later he returned if his 1st term was small biased political experience the 2nd had a renewed focus on agenda. Ive been amazed at what became known as our economics was a series of a business reforms aimed at boosting japans struggling economy his vision of a well the stronger japan came with a lifelong ambition to amend the countrys pacifist constitution which bars it from hostile acts except in selfdefense many japanese opposes constitutional changes but he did manage to repeatedly win elections as a result of the stability that he brought the fact that hes won 6 National Elections and basically been unopposed and really has shown no sign of losing his power really up until now and it is a year that japan has been well governed has been predictably and consistently govern for that period and he has managed to translate that into a much more visible role for japan in asia and globally abhi strengthen security entry ties with the u. S. Making japan one of its closest allies. And despite total disputes he warmed up to regional superpower china. But he stirred controversy by repeatedly visiting the Yasukuni Shrine which honors japans war dead among them convicted war criminals at japans wartime legacy led to renewed friction with south korea causing their worst diplomatic and create dispute for decades. The 2011 earthquake tsunami and Fukushima Nuclear disaster was a further test of his leadership another came in 2020 when the coronavirus pandemic scuttled his plans to showcase japan on the world stage by hosting the tokyo summer olympics the worlds 3rd largest economy already on the slide since 2. 18 slumped to a record low but abbey did succeed in being japans longest continuous the soviet Prime Minister even as concerns about his health resurfaced gupta al jazeera.
