Kishida said he would continue to serve as an “ordinary” LDP member, but declined to comment on his successor as party leader and prime minister.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on August 14 that he will resign in September and will not stand for re-election as head of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). This was reported by Kyodo News.

“As a first step to convince the public that the LDP has changed, I have decided not to participate in the presidential race,” Kishida said at a news conference.

He noted that LDP lawmakers “must work as one” under a new leader to restore public trust in politics and address various issues, including implementing measures to stem the decline of birth rate in an aging society and strengthening defense capabilities.

Kishida added that he would continue to serve as an “ordinary” member of the LDP, but declined to comment on his successor as party leader and prime minister.

It was noted that former Japanese Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who is popular with the population, has announced his intention to participate in the elections for the position of LDP leader. Previously, he served as Secretary General of the LDP, as the second man in the ruling party.

We remind you that on August 5, the Japanese Minister of Justice Ryuji Koizumi visited Kyiv.

Japan previously reported plans to provide Ukraine with a $3.3 billion loan, using interest from Russian assets frozen as part of sanctions against the Russian Federation.
