Will Aso visit Yasukuni?
Next August 15th is a long time from now, but that doesn’t stop the press from speculating about whether or not Taro Aso will visit the Yasukuni Shrine as Prime Minister, and Aso does not feel like answering their questions:
“I will not give an answer here on whether or not I will visit” the shrine, Aso said at a meeting of a parliamentary committee, adding he had taken the same stance when he was foreign minister and his position will not change.
On the issue of visiting the shrine, Aso has taken a cautious stance, saying in the recent Liberal Democratic Party presidential election that he will act in an “appropriate” fashion.
