Fumio Kishida is the new Prime Minister of Japan. He replaced Yoshihide Suga after winning the Liberal Democrat leadership election.[1] This gave him the right to lead the party into the 2021 Japanese general election in which he was victorious.

Background

Born into a political family, Kishida spent part of his childhood in the United States where he attended school in New York City.[2]

Political career

He was a junior minister.

Became Prime Minister in 2021.

Political views

Politically, he is leader of the Kōchikai, a leading moderate faction of the LDP.

Kishida is seen as dovish on foreign policy and lukewarm about revising Japan's pacifist constitution.[3]

During the LDP leadership election, he called for Japan to strive for a new form of capitalism to reduce income disparity, saying neoliberalism and deregulation have widened economic gaps in society.

Being a representative from Hiroshima, Kishida has consistently advocated for Japanese diplomacy to promote nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament within the framework of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).[4]

After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, he disagreed with Shinzō Abe who wanted Japan to host American nuclear weaopns.[5]
