Japanese PM Suga tells UN Tokyo is ready to host Olympics

At the United Nations General Assembly, Japanese PM Suga has reinforced the safety of the Olympic Games, and he said the event wiil be a proof of humanity has defeated the pandemic. "I will continue to spare no effort in order to welcome you to Games that are safe and secure." said Suga. First of all, some of you may wonder why Abe, the previous PM resigned. Fair enough! I give you the background quickly. He became the longest serving PM in Japan’s history after the war. The news hit the ground around the world. Soon, he quit. NHK reports that he has a chronic illness called “ulcerative colitis.” In the New York Times article, a political scientist Koichi Nakano says Mr Abe failed to provide accountable information for his scandals like money fraud, Moritomo and Kake Gakuen. The resignation is controversial. It’s like his chronicle condition showed up just in time! I used that trick when I was in primary school. My stomach suddenly hurt on the day of the exam. He maybe avoided troubles. I am thrilled to see Suga’s leadership in the time of emergency and instability. This may include the postponed Olympic in coming year, which was the hope of economical recovery from the Tohoku earthquake in 2011. There is a rumour for a snap election for the reaffirmation of Suga’s presidency in the party. Despite the high approval rate of his cabinet, he has not yet committed to the snap election. Mr Suga insist the handling of coronavirus pandemic comes first. Mr Suga calls for the election or take over Abe’s term for next 12 months. I generally support that idea. It is certainly not the best time for people in muddle to think about the politics. Recently, International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach emphasised that Tokyo organisers are prepared to carry out games in post-corona world. In the statement it says over 50 measures have been designed to maximise cost savings and increase efficiencies in Games delivery. Earlier, considering the further damage on its economy, Japan announced the easing restriction for all non tourist from October. This allows international students, foreign residents and athletes to enter Japan on condition of 14-day quarantine period upon arrival. The challenge of holding the Olympic is following the safety measure. While IOC says the Olympic will go ahead with or without the vaccine, it is highly testing for Mr Suga.
