  • Japan Tennis Association Business Report for FY2016 (April 1, 2016 ~ March 31, 2017)
    Japan Tennis Association Business Report for FY2016 (April 1, 2016 ~ March 31, 2017) 1. Organizational Management In FY2016, the Japan Tennis Association was run based on the Meeting of the Board of Directors and the monthly Meeting of Executive Directors under the re-elected JTA President, Nobuo Kuroyanagi. However, policies were planned and executed by 25 specialized committees set up under four sectoral departments, namely High Performance, Development, Event Operations, and General/Finance, and by 12 offices established directly under the President, the Senior Executive Director, and the Board of Executive Directors. The Board of Councilors, consisting of 69 representatives of member and cooperative associations and opinion leaders, met twice in the fiscal year and passed resolutions for the FY2016 business results and financial statement as well as the FY2017 business plans and budget. JTA's business scale has expanded since becoming a public interest incorporated foundation (koueki zaidan houjin), thanks to the increasing interest in tennis by Japanese society, implementing projects to strengthen players for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and hosting tournaments. The operating organization required strengthening, which resulted in an amendment in the articles of incorporation by the Board of Councilors. The number of Directors was increased from a maximum of 30 to a maximum of 35 directors, and the number of Executive Directors was increased from 15 to 17. Committee activities expanded, which subsequently increased the workload of the JTA secretariat that supports all committee activities. In particular, during the Japan Tennis Weeks, the tournament operating headquarters and the secretariat showed perfect teamwork in the months of September and October.

  • 1 GR JAPAN Update on the Appointment of Prime Minister Suga
    GR JAPAN Update on the appointment of Prime Minister Suga and the Suga Cabinet 17 September 2020 Executive Summary • As expected, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga easily won the election for leadership of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) on 14 September, taking over 70% of the vote. His premiership was cemented by the formal votes in the Diet on 16 September, where Suga received 314 of 465 votes in the House of Representatives and 142 of 245 in the House of Councillors. • After serving as Prime Minister Abe’s right hand as Chief Cabinet Secretary for nearly eight years, Suga is expected to be a “continuity” Prime Minister who will carry forward very similar policies, but he is seen as less of an ideologue and more focused on practical reforms. • The decisiveness of his victory gives Suga a solid platform within the party, helping him to push ahead with his own agenda and limiting internal dissent. • Suga’s Cabinet appointments reflect his commitment to continuity on the whole, with strategic appointments to further his plans for reform. • Policy priorities will focus on domestic issues, primarily economic recovery and Covid-19 pandemic mitigation, but the new Cabinet will also face tough diplomatic challenges. • Suga has indicated that he will continue Abe’s efforts to place a strengthened US- Japan alliance at the centre of Japan’s foreign policy, but also that he wants to achieve “balanced” relations with China. Yoshihide Suga as party leader As the new prime minister, Suga is stressing political continuity, but also talking about his commitment to administrative and regulatory reform as key priorities for his government.
