Therefore, Japan should move in step and <strong>actively take on the challenge of UN reform<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, we should steadily advance from areas where the UN can take the lead in consolidating cooperation among countries, and I hope such efforts will be further promoted.<br \/>\nToday, I wish to reiterate my expectations\u2014as one of the supporters.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Masaharu Nakagawa, Advisor to the Committee (former Member of the Hous&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20994,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["ja","en","fr"],"languages":{"ja":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"fr":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jacgg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21030"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jacgg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jacgg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jacgg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jacgg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21030"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.jacgg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21030\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21031,"href":"https:\/\/www.jacgg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21030\/revisions\/21031"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jacgg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jacgg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jacgg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jacgg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
