[Good news] Mr. Iwaya, member of the House of Representatives and Minister of Defense resigned.

Yesterday (September 12), I left the Defense Minister's post for eleven months. I am relieved that I have finished my retirement ceremony at the Ministry of Defense and have completed my appointment. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you who sent us cheering throughout this time. Although it was a ministerial position for only 11 months, every day was a series of tensions. It was also a day of struggle with new challenges and problems that occur every day, such as response at the Diet, inspection of the troops, overseas business trips, response to disasters, response to various accidents, response to North Korean missiles. Although it was a brilliant effort, I intend to do my best to fulfill the noble mission of ensuring national security and protecting people's peaceful lives. In the meantime, the security environment surrounding Japan has changed dramatically. North Korea continues to launch short-range missiles and is strengthening its capabilities. China's military expansion continues, and movements in the East China Sea, South China Sea, and Pacific Ocean are being activated. Russia has expanded its armaments in the northern territory, and there is an obstacle to defense cooperation with South Korea. And tensions continue in the Middle East. Responding to a series of natural disasters continues in Japan, and at this time the SDF members are sweating for victims in Saga Prefecture, which suffers from the aftermath of heavy rain disasters, and Chiba Prefecture, where typhoon damage is serious. . Defending the territory, territorial waters, and airspace, and protecting the lives and assets of the people in such harsh internal and external environments is the mission imposed on the Ministry of Defense and the Self-Defense Forces, and its responsibility is more than ever. It was also eleven months that I realized I was getting bigger and heavier. I will leave the position of Defense Minister, but I am determined to continue to firmly support the Ministry of Defense and the Self-Defense Forces, which are responsible for this noble mission, from the standpoint of the party and the Diet as a member of the Diet. Thank you again for your warm support during this time. We will continue to do our best for the development and prosperity of the country and the country, so we ask for your continued guidance and encouragement. Thank you very much.
