<Agree>The perspective of the Japanese Government

（Background）

After Tokyo was elected as the place where the summer Olympic in 2020 will be held, Prime Minister described the hope for the Olympic and the future of Japan.

 

              Hello, I'm the representative of the Japanese government. I was very happy for Tokyo to be elected as the place where the summer Olympic in 2020 will be held. We can have the responsibility to hold the safe and secure Olympic in Tokyo because Japan introduce the anti-terrorism policy in the public space.

Also, Tokyo will try to hold the successful Games to thank the world for the support of the earthquake in Tohoku and the tsunami as the symbol of “earthquake disaster reconstruction”.

 

Furthermore, Tokyo Olympic helps Japan recover the economy in Japan or have our own dreams or goals through the unity of the sports. As for the economy recovery, the London 2012 Olympics had also the economic recovery through the Olympic. And we can realize that the sport can solve the problem which cannot be solved just by throwing the money, so the government agreed to found the institution which is related to sports.

 

Also, it is estimated that Olympic in Tokyo may help the improvement of English ability in Japan. The level of the ability to use English in Japan is lower than the other developed countries, so Japan may be able to solve the problem through “English Villages” as the tool to solve this problem by the Olympic in 2020. This Olympic can be the goal to make people achieve their improvement of English skills.

 

Finally, like me, the people who saw the previous Tokyo Olympic in 1964 must be fascinated because older people can see the Olympic in our own country twice. The previous Olympic in Tokyo gave a lot of people the dream and hope so those people also expect to feel the same feeling.

 

Through the Olympic, Japan can also speak to the world and invigorate itself. That’s why I agree with the Tokyo Olympic in 2020. Thank you.
