TOKYO, Japan – Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, a day after he was evacuated from an apparent attack, vowed to do everything possible to ensure the safety of Group of Seven leaders and senior ministers visiting his country through next month.
“Unfortunately I think that some of this has to do with the social media and some of the misinformation which spreads online,” Wilkinson told Reuters in Sapporo in northern Japan, where G7 climate and energy ministers were meeting.
