The panel aim at making a proposal by April and it will be included in the growth strategy plan that the government will summarize and publish in June.
The panel includes 7 members from civilians including Akimoto Yasushi.

“We should consider Japan is a great country, and be confident enough to spread what we got to the world.
In short, what matters is confidence.”

“It’s a tough question. Well, I guess I’m Kenkyusei among them.”
