Admin’s Note

I believe that the new initiatives being implemented for economic security are extremely important for the future of our country. In particular, measures against supply chain threats will become increasingly crucial. As Chako mentioned, I hope we keep in mind the importance of public-private partnerships and international cooperation as we move forward. I am eager to see how the new agency will function and will be watching future developments closely.
