Japan's new LDP prime minister Shinzo Abe in 2013- "Japan in Back" strategy as much a personal story as it is Japan's

12/17/2012

The comeback of Shinzo Abe as the LDP wins elections for both houses of parliament in 2013. Shinzo Abe emphasizes the importance of handling failure for Japanese startup companies and new ventures, and says this was his own experience in handling ulcerative colitis during his first term as prime minister. New advances in medicine made it possible for him to recover and plan his return to party leadership. He says it is wrong for people to associate the LDP with the Old Economy, when Japan is all about the future and new companies breaking new ground.

We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
