Statement by Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi on the G7 Leader's Statement

October 30, 1998

I think it is very timely that the G7 finance ministers and central bank governors issued today a declaration concerning current world economic problems.
In addition to welcoming this declaration, the G7 leaders have also decided to issue a statement of their own to re-affirm their stance of dealing positively with these problems.
I sincerely hope that the determination of the G7 leaders will help improve the world economy situation further.
