With political powers continuously going astray and the deep scar the Great East Japan earthquake left behind, still waiting to be mended, it’s no wonder that the diplomacy of Japan has lost sight of its sense of direction. TPP, European economic crisis, territorial dispute, relocation of Marine Corps Air Station in Futenma… Countless diplomatic issues that could quickly alter the course of the political state are arising incessantly and dealing with them for the time being, without a clear future vision seems to be the only choice at this point.

Amid such a state, the so-called “Diplomatic Giant”, Mr. Henry Kissinger will appear on BS FUJI PRIME NEWS. The man, former US Secretary of State, has freely flown around the world in times of the cold war and continued to provide advice from his broad perspective to leaders in power. What kind of message will he give to Japan at a time like this?

Awaiting the arrival of Mr. Kissinger is the other “Giant”, Mr. Yasuhiro Nakasone, who sought to heighten Japan’s presence in the world through U.S./Japan relations and participation of summits, taking helm for an extended period of time. The impassioned debate and discussion of the two “Giants” will be sure to create fierce sparks in the studio.

Following Mr. Kissinger and Mr. Nakasone’s appearance will be Mr. Hans Dietmar Schweisgut, ambassador of the EU to Japan. Mr. Schweisgut will guest star live to discuss the current chain of monetary/financial crisis that could extend to and affect Japan’s economy. He will take lead in responding to the core doubts about risk management and reconstruction of EU.
