　平井卓也デジタル改革担当相は２８日夜のＢＳ日テレの番組で、行政デジタル化の司令塔となる「デジタル庁」のトップについて「女性がいい」と述べた。「デジタルの世界は海外のいろいろな会議に出てもほとんど女性だ。日本のデジタル系の会議は真っ黒、男ばっかりだ」と語った。
　デジタル庁設置に向けて３０日にも内閣官房に設置する準備室に関し、平井氏は自身が室長に就くと説明。総務、経済産業両省など関係省庁から５０人を集め、さらに民間から１０人程度を加えて６０人規模にする考えを明らかにした。（2020/09/28-23:37）

Japanese digital transformation minister Takuya Hirai said he thinks a woman should head an envisaged government agency tasked with playing a central role in promoting the digitalization of Japanese society.
   "In the digital world, meetings held overseas are dominated by women," Hirai said on a satellite television program by Nippon Television Network Corp. on Monday evening. "At digital-related meetings in Japan, all I see are men in black."
   The minister also said in the TV program that he will head a preparatory office for creating the proposed digital agency that will be set up at the Cabinet Secretariat as early as Wednesday. The office will be composed of some 60 members, including about 10 people from the private sector and around 50 officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and other related government agencies.
   Establishing the digital agency is one of key policy goals of Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who took office on Sept. 16.
