| Abe Minister Resigns |
| Tokio, 26.04.2017 |
|
| Japan’s Reconstruction Minister Masahiro Imamura resigned, a day after apologizing for remarks he made about the country’s devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Imamura, who oversaw post-disaster reconstruction efforts in northern Japan, submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Wednesday morning. The previous day, he said it was "good" the quake struck the Tohoku region rather than Tokyo.
While estimates suggest that damage from the disaster reached 25 trillion yen ($225 billion), "it was still good it was in Tohoku," he told a ruling Liberal Democratic Party event in Tokyo, according to footage carried by public broadcaster NHK. "If this were closer to the Tokyo area, it could have been of enormous proportions," he said. He later retracted the comments.
