A great team. Maybe Suzuki should propose allowing Russia to station its troops on Hokkaido and Tamaki should offer China to station its troops on Okinawa. That way we will have a balancing of interests in the future of Japan. Oh wait, where will we put the North Korean troops?

Improve immigration policies to allow workers with families to revive abandoned farms in rural communities.

Allow the immigration and naturalization of workers with needed skills to address the short fall of the current and future labor market.

Remove the glass ceilings that block the upward mobility of the female labor market
