I was assured by Prime Minister [Shinzo] Abe, when we met in Heiligendamm, that he would come himself. I’m, of course, disappointed that the Prime Minister had to leave, and they are now in the process of electing a new Prime Minister.

Question: Regarding the climate change high-level meeting panel, Japan is the country where the Kyoto Protocol was born, and yet that country’s Prime Minister seems to be absent from this high-level meeting. How disappointed are you?
I was told by Japanese PR [permanent representative] that one of the former Prime Ministers may represent as a special envoy of the new Prime Minister. I would welcome that. And I hope Japan will make a good contribution as one of the important countries regarding climate change and also the country that hosted the Kyoto Protocol. I’m looking forward to working with the new leadership, whoever it may be, in Japan.
