Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Let's start a regular conference. Mayor, please.

Mayor
Today, I would like to report on the first event of the Yokohama Children's International Peace Symposium. The city has implemented such a program in the Children's International Peace Program, which selects Peace Messenger and dispatches it to the United Nations, and dispatches it to the UN headquarters in New York. In the framework of this international peace program, I would like to hold a large symposium called the International Peace Symposium. First of all, you may know about this Peace Messenger, but I will give you a brief overview. Peace Messenger has been doing it all the time since 1986, and has been focusing on the development of global human resources and peace education. The number of elementary school studenｔ students participating is enormous, and there are 260,000 elementary and junior high school students in Yokohama, including 280,000 elementary and junior high school students, mainly 40,000 elementary school studenｔ students participating in the qualifying round. Probably, the speech contest in which such a large number of people participate is unparalleled in Japan or in the world. The purpose of this project is to develop global human resources and promote peace education. There are a total of 42,000 participants, of which about 500 people will be selected in the 18 wards as representatives of each school. So, it's about 500 out of 42,000 students, so about 1% of elementary school studenｔ students were selected as representatives of each school, and the main battle will take place. There are 38 people remaining in the main game, so it is 38 for 42,000 people, so it is said that it is a very strict magnification of about 0.1%, or the student selected in the contest competes in the main game . Under such circumstances, we have selected the Mayor Prize for the four Mayor Prize and the Mayor Prize, and these people are dispatched to New York. The school selection is held in May every year, qualifying will be held in 18 wards in June, and the main game will be held in July. The content is designed to give a speech in consideration of world peace from each perspective. For this speech contest, I wanted to spread a wide range of things about how the children in Yokohama are actually working at school, so I made a video. I would like to see you a little bit.
(Video)
I'll go on the next slide. Excuse me. Four elementary and junior high school students who won the Mayor's Award at this speech contest are sent to the United Nations headquarters in New York to deliver peace messages created by children in Yokohama to staff working at the United Nations. Do you know the United Nations International School, or do you know the United Nations International School? There are schools where the sons of the United Nations Headquarters and the representatives of each country attend, but I have them participate in classes at the United Nations International School, I have such an experience. Following the completion of the dispatch of New York this year, we will go to the United Nations of Yokohama Children's Peace Messenger again this year and hold a briefing session that we have done such things, so if you are interested, please report by all means I hope you can. Also, as I mentioned at the beginning, the symposium will be held for the first time, but the outline of the symposium is as follows. It will be held from 10 a.m. on December 5th.

The place was atrium, and the theme of the symposium was "What we can do for international peace." In addition to elementary school students and international students, you can also participate online. Then, we plan to have the Board of Education of Hiroshima City participate. Currently, we are also accepting applications for general visitors. This is a symposium aimed at such a thing that both children and adults can connect with each other in consideration of international peace and take their own actions. Mr. Shiranamise, Vice President of United Nations University, will talk about the United Nations' efforts for international peace and what we should do for international peace. In the subsequent panel discussion, 4 people will participate. Mr. Asanuma is a second-year student at Science Frontier, but he is a high school student who has been sending out the Palestinian issue so far, and based on his experience of actually visiting the site, he is currently studying in Malaysia. Mr. Sinnaburger on the right is the one who served as a peace messenger in the past, the actual OG, the Peace messenger program. He is a Peace Messenger and is currently attending graduate school in Geneva. Mr. Tsumura, the representative of WFP's Japan Office, and Mr. Miyata of ANA Holdings, will come and have a lively panel discussion from the perspective of global and international peace. This symposium is currently accepting applications for viewing, so I hope that many citizens will apply on this occasion. That's all about this.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Yes, I would like to ask you a question about this matter. Just check the microphone switch. First of all, please.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Kaji:
My name is Kaji of Kanagawa Shimbun-sha. Thank you. First of all, I would like to ask you two points. This program started in 1986, and as with the dispatch to New York, I felt that it was an opportunity for many children to think about what they could do because it was a huge speech contest. First of all, what is the aim of implementing this program involving many children?

Mayor
Yes, thank you for your question. I think Yokohama City is a unique initiative that combines the development of global human resources with international peace education. As it is an initiative unique to Yokohama, I would like the children of Yokohama to have a strong global perspective, a perspective on international peace, and something like that. For that reason, I feel that this program is very effective.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Kaji:
Next, I would like you to tell me again what you expect for this program. I'm sorry, and I think the mayor himself has exchanged words with the children of Peace Messenger and the children of the executive committee. Please tell me what you felt after receiving their message.

Mayor
Yes, thank you for your question. First of all, you will be interested in various things happening in the world. Also, even if you feel peace in Japan, it is not necessarily a matter of course in the world, and I hope that you will have diverse values and such things. Even when I talked with the past peace messengers, I felt that I had such a strong perspective, and I would be really happy if such a viewpoint was formed through this program. We are.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Are you sure? How about each company? Tokyo Shimbun.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
It's Kamiya of the Tokyo Shimbun. The symposium, which will be held for the first time, the Hiroshima City Board of Education will also participate, but I think that this year the Japan Confederation of A- and A-bomb Sufferers Organizations won the Nobel Peace Prize, but this means to call Hiroshima City Or do you say something about this participant?

General Manager, School Education Planning Department, Board of Education Secretariat:
Thank you very much. This is Yamamoto, Director of School Education Planning Department. First of all, the Hiroshima Board of Education will participate online as a city of Peace Messenger to exchange opinions from each other's activities. During my online participation, I'm thinking of sharing information on what we are doing and giving us your opinions.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
Then, does this participant mean that there is something overall discussion, including this elementary school student?

General Manager, School Education Planning Department, Board of Education Secretariat:
Yes, thank you. First of all, after having the keynote speech that was explained earlier, we will discuss with the panelists and the children of Peace Messenger in a panel discussion, but after that, we will participate here We are discussing whether we can lead to our actions by receiving keynote speeches and panel discussions at the general citizens, those who are participating online, and those who are at the venue. I am thinking about time.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Are you sure? That's why the question is over. The secretariat I'll replace it, so please wait a moment.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Yes, I'll continue to ask general questions. If you have more than one question, I would like to ask you all at once. First of all, please.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
Yes. I'm Takeda of Kanagawa Shimbun-sha, the secretary company. First of all, I would like to ask you about 3 points. The first point is that the US military ship Miguel Keith entered Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' Honmoku Plant last week, and received information from the Japan Coast Guard to Yokohama City and grasped it. I heard that the U.S. military shift to China, or that this is the eighth case in which a U.S. military ship is being developed at a private facility in Yokohama, Japan, with an emphasis on Asia. Until the sixth case, Yokohama City was contacted via the Ministry of Defense, but the U.S. military contacted the Ministry of Defense, from which the city was contacted. The seventh case in December of last year, I heard that the city has not announced this case, in the form that the Ministry of Defense did not contact this time, including this time. . About that, from the viewpoint of providing information to citizens or eliminating anxiety, we think that the city should disseminate information as much as possible, but I would like to hear the thoughts of the mayor around that You.

Mayor
This time. Well, first of all.

Head of Base Countermeasures, Urban Development Bureau Planning Department Hashizume:
Thank you for your question. This is Hashizume, General Manager of Urban Development Bureau Base Countermeasures. I just talked about, the U.S. military ship entered a private shipyard, but first of all, we did not announce it because there was no information from the Ministry of Defense. did. In addition, we think that there are citizens who seem uneasy, so it is such a case, about the rules of information transmission again, to clarify, we are Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and the Ministry of Defense Well, we are considering it. We will continue to work hard to dispel the anxiety of citizens.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
I understand. Thank you very much. The second point is that it is the part of the political fund party again, but I think that there is a plan at the supporter's party next week, but even in the previous lower house election, politics and money were discussed so much, and the political fund party itself It will be held at this time with the idea of a political fund party as a mayor again as one of the issues, and as the views of the people are becoming increasingly severe. I'd like to ask you two points.

Mayor
Yes. Thank you for your question. First of all, next week, the matter you pointed out next week, will be to establish my supporter's party, and will be hosted by those who support me. It is also suspected that the essence of the political and money issues reported in recent years was that part of the party ticket income was not included in the report. I think this is the essence. It is a natural duty to properly process in accordance with laws and regulations, so I think that the essence of that point is this time, and that it has been revealed that it has not been properly processed. .

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
Thank you very much. Another point in connection with this, politics and money, party ticket income, where it became very problematic, and another point is called a corporate group donation, or if you get money from a specific organization, I wonder if some kind of relationship was born there and suspicions were pointed out in the part of the abolition of corporate group donations, but I wonder if the idea of buying a party was inevitably included in that case.

Mayor
Yes. There are various discussions on the pros and cons of corporate group donations and the future in the country, so I would like to continue to closely monitor trends. Again, I think it is necessary to process properly in accordance with laws and regulations.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
I understand. Thank you very much. That's the third point. I'm sorry yesterday, yesterday. There was also a discussion at the designated city mayor association, but after all, I think that there are some walls in the wall of the annual income wall of 1.03 million yen, but from the 1.03 million yen said at this time, 1.78 million If the wall rises to the top, the amount of the impact on Yokohama City is estimated, and what kind of position will be discussed in national politics in the future?

Mayor
Yes. Thank you for your question. Regarding the discussion of reviewing the 1.03 million yen wall, first of all, it will lead to securing labor as labor shortages become more serious. We also believe that an increase in national income will contribute to the revitalization of the economy. On the other hand, as you pointed out, the impact on local finances is enormous. Importantly, I would like the government to review it in an integrated manner, including tax systems and social security, and to comprehensively discuss the securing of alternative financial resources. . I wonder if it's tax revenue. Regarding the amount of tax revenue, the tax revenue of Motoichi will have an effect of approximately 120 billion yen in personal municipal tax.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
Thank you very much. I think it will be a fairly large amount of 120 billion yen, but on the other hand, in terms of securing the labor force and revitalizing the economy as you have just said, it will be in such a form for the country If so, is it okay to be in the position of seeking compensation with national expenses and alternative financial resources?

Mayor
Securing alternative financial resources, as well as taxation and social security systems. I think it is necessary to review it together.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
I understand. Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Yes. How about each company? Mr. Asahi Shimbun.

Asahi Shimbun Yoshinaga:
My name is Yoshinaga of the Asahi Shimbun. I'd like to ask you two points. The first point is about the Baystars parade. I think that the mayor has also been appointed as the chairman of the executive committee, but please tell us if there is public expenditure here and how it is planned for the mobilization of staff.

Mayor
Yes, thank you for your question. First of all, there is no public expenditure. In addition, about mobilization of the staff of city, there is no such thing as recruiting volunteers widely, having the staff of city come out as volunteers at all.

Asahi Shimbun Yoshinaga:
Thank you very much. This is the second point, but I would like to ask you about the cost of childbirth. According to the results of a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of the country, the fact that childbirth costs are rising, and that more than 500,000 yen of lump sums, half of which pay more than 500,000 yen However, the survey results have come out, but can you tell us about your acceptance as Yokohama City?

Mayor
Yes, thank you for your question. It is the data issued by the country and the results, but I think it is on a prefecture-by-prefecture basis. So, first of all, there is no data for each municipality, and as a facility dealing with childbirth, I think that it is a private hospital or a public hospital, so there is no data around that, so in the future I think that if you can send such data to the country, you can verify the data and proceed with various analyses.

Asahi Shimbun Yoshinaga:
Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Yes, how about others? Mr. TBS.

TBS Nishida:
My name is Nishida of TBS. This is the continuation of the wall of annual income.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
I'll bring you Mike.

TBS Nishida:
Earlier, the tax revenue decrease in Yokohama City was 120 billion yen, but in order to make it a little easier for ordinary citizens to understand, it is not easy to understand, but what kind of administrative services will be affected Please tell me if there is something.

Mayor
Yes, thank you for your question. This 120 billion yen corresponds to about 13% of the city tax of Motoichi. What you actually use for what, but yes, it costs and money for basic administrative services such as child care, welfare, and education.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Mr. tvk.

TV Kanagawa Imai:
My name is Imai of TV Kanagawa. Thank you very much. The other day, I think that pub rice has officially come out in the case of the international pool, but I would like to ask for the impression of the mayor, such as the acceptance of it and the future schedule again.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
From the competent authority.

Sports, Culture and Dynamic City Development Bureau Sports Promotion Department Kumasaka:
Mr. Kumasaka, General Manager of Sports Promotion Department. The time for drafting the original draft is from December onwards, so we are currently examining the procedure internally with the aim of that. Regarding how to proceed in the future, as I have just said so far, we are showing the way of thinking of the city one by one, and we are now showing the ideas of the city, but we will firmly analyze the opinions one by one We will proceed with the analysis and take into account the results of the exchange of opinions with everyone involved, and we will be pleased with more citizens, but we will continue to talk from the mayor, but we will consider sustainable facilities that we will consider that we will consider that we will consider that we will consider that we will consider that we will consider that we are sustainable.

TV Kanagawa Imai:
I would like thought of the mayor again.

Mayor
It is a story that uses taxes firmly on what citizens expect, so I think it is necessary to make things that citizens want and have many voices raised. I think it should be based on who the facility is for.

TV Kanagawa Imai:
Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Mr. Sankei.

Sankei Shimbun Hashimoto:
I'm Hashimoto of the Sankei Shimbun. Thank you very much. It is relation of current citizen opinion, publication of citizen opinion of Yokohama international pool, but are there four classifications? I've heard that it's not classified as the place I intended, and that there are opinions, but I've heard that there are also opinions, but complaints about the classification of this citizen opinion solicitation and the results of this announcement Is there a coming? If so, please tell me what complaints are coming and how many?

Sports, Culture and Dynamic City Development Bureau Sports Promotion Department Kumasaka:
Yes, I haven't reached me directly about this sort, but I'd like to see if there are any details later and let you know.

Sankei Shimbun Hashimoto:
It's a completely different matter, but it's the interlocking project of the Baystars parade, but by doing the interlocking project, I'm asking the jurisdiction about this aim, but I'm going to come and expect mainly, I'd like you to hear the thoughts of the mayor or your impressions.

Mayor
Yes. Thank you for your question. This time, I would like to share this joy that Baystars became Japan's best for the first time in 26 years with citizens and fans. For that purpose, we will hold a championship parade at Baystars, but as a city, by all means dye this city of Yokohama in blue, parade, and so many people can fully enjoy Yokohama through such lighting I have a feeling that I want you to enjoy it. I hope that such a thing will lead to the creation of the bustle of the city of Yokohama.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Are you sure? Mr. Tokyo.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
It's Kamiya of the Tokyo Shimbun. There are two points, and it is said that there are no staff or volunteers about the Baystars parade, but there are sports-related departments as duties.

Mayor
I think it's possible. Regarding various things, for example, regulations, I think that's the same as the police, but it can happen to respond to such places.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
Then, I think that how many staff members, the security system, and the crowds now are quite difficult, but please tell us about such a system.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
The competent authority.

Sports, Culture and Dynamic City Development Bureau Sports Promotion Department Kumasaka:
Mr. Kumasaka, General Manager of Sports Promotion Department. I think that the Sports and Fisheries Promotion Department will be in units of several people, including me on the day. We will be in charge of coordinating and coordinating with the organizer, the executive committee. Regarding the security system, the Executive Committee has heard that it is about 800 people, but I would like you to contact the secretariat for the official information. Thank you very much. I'm sorry at the same time. As I mentioned earlier, Sankei Shimbun talked about a complaint, but I do not know the opinion that the classification is different at the moment. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of personal information, we have changed the names of so-called individuals and corporations. On the other hand, I understand at the moment that one complaint was telephoned.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
Excuse me. I'm sorry, it's about the Yokohama International Pool, but on the 24th of the weekend, an inclusive tournament with the name of Paralympian Takayuki Suzuki will be held at the subpool, but in that regard As for the subpool, I'm thinking about renovating the subpool so that the tournament will be held in the future, I'm thinking about increasing the number of seats.

Sports, Culture and Dynamic City Development Bureau Sports Promotion Department Kumasaka:
Yes, thank you for your question. First of all, we are not involved in the tournament this weekend as a special city. At the same time, in the draft I just talked about, as you can see, we are showing more seats in the audience seats. Regarding the practice pools we talked about after that, we are conducting various examinations based on the opinions we received for the recruitment of citizen opinions I mentioned earlier, but there is no fixed thing at this time, If there is a timing to report, I think it will be in a form that will inform you again.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Anything else? Kanagawa Shimbun-sha.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Kaji:
This is Kaji of the Kanagawa Shimbun-sha. I'd like to ask you one point. Regarding the redevelopment of the Yamashita-Futo, I have heard that the committee will submit a report later this year. Now, citizens have asked for the security of citizen participation that is not limited to their pub rice after the report was issued, and how do you say the way of citizen participation after the report has already been issued? I would like you to tell us your current assumptions about whether you will be involved.

Mayor
Thank you for your question. We are planning to submit a report by the end of this year. I don't know if it's December or January, but I think it's going to come out around that, but after receiving a report, I'm considering various methods about how to change the citizen opinion afterwards I am doing it. In any case, I think it is necessary to develop Yamashita-Futo from the citizen's point of view, so I have heard a lot of citizen opinions so far. We hold many workshops, solicit opinions, and based on the keywords and ideas, we have you discuss in the Exploratory Committee, and we know that a report will be issued this time, As I myself think that it is an important viewpoint to reflect the opinions of citizens on the report, I would like to think about how to do it firmly.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Anything else? That's the end of the regular meeting. Thank you very much.
