岸田首相、１７日に福島訪問調整　就任後初、原発視察

　岸田文雄首相が１７日に福島県を訪問し、東京電力福島第１原発を視察する方向で調整していることが分かった。関係者が９日、明らかにした。首相の福島入りは就任後初めて。東日本大震災からの復興を重視する姿勢をアピールする狙いがあるとみられる。
　首相は８日の所信表明演説で「東日本大震災からの復興なくして日本の再生なし。この強い思いの下で、被災者支援、産業・なりわいの再建、福島の復興・再生に全力で取り組む」と強調した。（2021/10/09-15:47）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is considering visiting Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s disaster-stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant in Fukushima Prefecture on Oct. 17, informed sources said Saturday.
   It will be Kishida's first visit to the northeastern Japan prefecture since he took office on Monday.
   With the visit, Kishida apparently hopes to highlight his government's commitment to the reconstruction of areas affected by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami and the subsequent nuclear disaster.
   In his first policy speech at parliament as leader of the government on Friday, Kishida said, "There will be no revival of Japan without the reconstruction of areas hit by the 2011 earthquake. With this strong determination, we will do all we can to support affected people, rebuild businesses and livelihoods and revive Fukushima."
