Prime Minister Obuchi's emergency hospital admission

We are surprised by the sad news of Prime Minister Obuchi's emergency hospital admission and express our sincere sympathy and wishes for his early recovery.

Where the government is concerned, we look forward to a continuity of action under Chief Cabinet Secretary Aoki who has been named the provisional acting Prime Minister without any political vacuum in the government's ongoing commitment that will concentrate for the time being on political issues including economic recovery measures.
