Ms. Sanae Takaichi

Policy chief of the Liberal Democratic Party

Member of the House of Representatives, The Diet (Japan's national legislature)

LDP Policy Chief commented on Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo on April 24 as follows;

I believe that Japan-China relation is extremely important, however, it is none of their business how we Japanese honor and remember our soldiers who lost their lives during their services to our country. We decide on how we appreciate their services, therefore, I question why our visit to Yasukuni Shrine develops into a diplomatic issue.
