The prime minister stressed in his first policy address ,as a prime minister in the Diet ,yesterday, on September 29, his government's intention to make this country a beautiful one.
( On Friday, Abe delivered his inaugural key policy speech before both houses of the Diet,emphasizing his efforts to transporm Japan into "a beautiful nation.")
小泉前首相の「聖域なき構造改革」のように、「美しい国づくり」を政権のキーワードにしたいのだろう。
It appears that he wants to make the word of " making a beaytiful country" a key-word for his administration, like the phrase of " structural reforms without sanctuary" in the time of the former prime minister Junichiro Koizumi.
(The policy address suggests Abe will use "building a beautiful country" as a pet slogan during his term in office, much in the way that his predecessor,Junichiro Koizumi,championed "structural reforms without sacred cows.")
