第２次岸田内閣が本格始動　菅前首相に協力要請

　第２次岸田内閣は１１日、発足から一夜明けて本格始動した。午前９時すぎに首相官邸入りした岸田文雄首相は、官邸を訪れた菅義偉前首相と約２０分間会談。新型コロナウイルスの新規感染が抑えられていることを念頭に、前政権のコロナ対応に謝意を表明。「気になることがあったら言ってください」と政権運営に協力を求めた。
　肝煎り政策の実現にも早速、取り掛かった。岸田首相は小林鷹之経済安全保障担当相を呼び、通常国会に提出を目指す経済安保法案の策定を急ぐよう指示。この後「デジタル田園都市国家構想実現会議」に出席し、「成長と分配の好循環」に向け、構想を早期に具体化する考えを示した。
　第２次内閣発足に合わせて起用された林芳正外相も外務省で記者会見。「身が引き締まる思いだ。普遍的価値や日本の平和と安定を守り抜く覚悟を持って、外交を展開したい」と意気込みを語った。（2021/11/11-11:51）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's second cabinet fully kicked off operations Thursday, following its launch the previous day, with his government holding the first meeting of a panel on its "digital garden city state" initiative.
   "We aim to establish advanced digital platforms as public infrastructure and support the digitalization of regional areas by taking every possible measure utilizing the platforms," he said at the meeting.
   "We will fully utilize a subsidy program that would be newly set up as part of planned fresh economic measures" in order to promote remote medical care, education and work, and prepare digital foundations such as data centers, he added. The panel is headed by Kishida.
   Launching the digital garden city state initiative is one of the pillars of a growth strategy included in an emergency proposal drawn up by the Council for New Form of Capitalism Realization, also headed by Kishida, on Monday.
   The garden city initiative is aimed at revitalizing regional economies through digital technologies. The garden city initiative panel plans to draw up by year-end measures that will be taken in the near future and reach a conclusion next spring.
