À propos de cet audio
Former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has been making waves in diplomatic circles during mid-October 2025, appearing at several high-profile international events despite no longer holding the top office. Korea Joong Ang Daily reports that Kishida attended the 2025 Korea-Japan Policy Dialogue in Tokyo on October 15, where he was joined by Korean Ambassador to Japan Lee Hyuk and former Deputy Foreign Minister Shin Kak-soo. This gathering focused on strengthening bilateral ties between the two nations at a crucial moment in regional politics.
Just days earlier, Kishida was present at another significant Korea-Japan gathering, with the Korea Times confirming his attendance alongside other dignitaries at an Asan Institute event. His continued engagement in Japan-Korea relations shows his commitment to the diplomatic groundwork he laid during his premiership, particularly in mending fences with Seoul after years of strained relations.
The former prime minister's exit from office earlier this year was marked by scandal, as multiple sources confirm. The Macau Business outlet reports that revelations about a slush fund scandal within the Liberal Democratic Party cost Kishida his job, leading to several LDP factions being dissolved and voters deserting the party. This controversy centered on dodgy payments of millions of dollars related to ticket sales for fundraising events that emerged in 2024.
Interestingly, there are some outdated references floating around suggesting Kishida met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in August 2025, but this appears to be an error, as Kishida was no longer serving as prime minister by that time. His successor, Shigeru Ishiba, has been leading the government since fall 2024, though recent reports indicate Ishiba himself is facing mounting pressure to resign following devastating electoral losses.
Kishida's legacy continues to influence Japanese politics even from the sidelines, as his decision to back Ishiba over conservative rival Sanae Takaichi has proven controversial among party members.
