It is already the second visit to Japan of his term when Chancellor Olaf Scholz meets Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Saturday. He will be accompanied this time by Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, Economics Minister Robert Habeck, Finance Minister Christian Lindner and Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.
The fact that Scholz is taking the most important ministers in his cabinet with him shows how much importance the federal government attaches to this visit.
