TOKYO -- Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, known for keeping busy weekends in his days as chief cabinet secretary, maintained a similar schedule at the start of his first weekend in office, attending a foreign policy meeting Saturday morning and wrapping up the day with time at the gym.
Suga appeared at the prime minister's office just after 9 a.m. After taking a half-hour walk on the grounds, he recorded a video message for the upcoming United Nations General Assembly -- which will largely be held remotely. He then met with senior foreign ministry officials, including Vice Foreign Minister Takeo Akiba, before taking working lunch at a hotel.
