On Monday, Kishida appointed former foreign minister Takaki Matsumoto to replace Terada. After the appointment of Matsumoto, Kishida told reporters: The foundation of political commitment is public trust. As a politician, I must protect public trust by taking care of and strengthening my surroundings.
