Japan's Kishida Bows Out

With Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announcing his resignation in September, his early departure concludes his leadership of the LDP. Despite his efforts to enhance Japan's defence and US ties, his tenure has been marred by a major corruption scandal. We discuss the implications of his resignation on Japan's future with William Pesek, Columnist, Nikkei Asia
