The central government should use the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics as an opportunity to boost economic growth nationwide, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Monday.
"I'd like to make the coming games the 'Japan Olympics.' The government has a big task to realize that. I think the event could help Japan grow again in the international community, including in the field of tourism," Suga said, speaking at the G1 Executive Conference in Tokyo.
The Japan Times was one of the sponsors of the event.
