Hirofumi Nakasone chairs the Special Mission Committee to Restore the Honor and Trust of Japan that met 13 times since last year to discuss ways to correct the misperceptions regarding the comfort women issue resulting from false reporting by Asahi Shimbun and others. He delivered the committee's recommendations to Prime Minister Abe. He explained the importance of communicating factual information to the international community, saying, "We must rebut issues that are worthy of rebuttal and ensure that the world knows the facts."
