Mr. Newt Gingrich Is Here in Tokyo

Today, on the way to the office, I read an article: “Newt’s Conversion. The former U.S. Speaker finds a new home in the Catholic Church on TIME (VOL. I74, No.7) on a train.

After I had arrived at the office, I accessed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website. I happened to notice that there was a press release: a group of the former U.S. Speaker, Mr. Gingrich visited MOF.

Oh, Mr. Newt Gingrich is here in Tokyo? I thought.

According to the press release, the group of the former Speaker visited MOF on August 18 (Tuesday) , and they had a talk with Deputy Foreign Minister Mitoji Yabunaka (a career bureaucrat, not politician) . They exchanged frankly opinions about Japan-US relationships and the situation of the Asian-Pacific region.

Just a brief statement.

I am very curious what brought Mr. Gingrich here.
