Train derailment accident is regrettable. Keidanren decided to take action and informed JR West that it should voluntarily refrain from its membership activities.
EPA with China would be technically more difficult than those with Singapore and Mexico. It might take time, but both the government and businesses should study it. Keidanren would also like to study EPA with the U. S. at early stage.
The government is trying hard to invite ITER to Japan, but I learned recently that it is difficult. Keidanren will work on the government again to realize invitation.
