Kishida delays departure for New York to monitor typhoon damage

And what will that accomplish? He's exercising useless PR at home.

Very interesting and meaningful news indeed

I'm curious why this is a stand-alone news article. It deserves no more than a sentence added to the story tomorrow about the outcome of his meetings in NY.

So no border announcement for a few days then.

Kishida would probably be taken less seriously than me ,if I gave a speech

Good job Kishida, thank you

Kishida delays departure for New York to monitor typhoon damage

What’s he gonna do?

Clean up after it?

Just go.

It will definitely not make a difference if you’re in Tokyo, Osaka, New York, the moon, or wherever.

Good move.

It's funny because if he left I think people would say "Why is he leaving?! Doesn't he care?" It's very hard to win for him I am afraid.

So, the usual Japanese practice of taking two jet liners on every foreign excursion is not a major contributor to climate change?

A distinct lack of logic from the moderator here!!!

LOL but he has a nice emergency uniform!

You would not even be permttted entry into the UN General Assembly Hall during a session, much less given any opportunity to give a speech.

pathetic empty suit and his "action"....
