Japan Prime Minister, Yoshihide Suga, on Monday vowed to forge ahead with preparations to hold the Tokyo Olympics this summer, in the face of growing public opposition as Japan battles a surge in COVID-19 infections.
Mr Suga faces heightened criticism after Taro Kono, his administrative and reform minister, told Reuters last week that the Games may not go ahead as planned, becoming the first cabinet member to voice doubt over their staging. Suga in a policy speech at the start of a regular parliament session said, “We will press ahead with preparations, with determination of building watertight anti-infection measures and holding an event that can bring hope and courage to the world in the midst of the pandemic.”
