TOKYO: Japanese Prime Minister KISHIDA Fumio said Thursday that his government will roll out an action plan as early as April to help increase investment in the country.

“An action plan that includes numerical targets will be presented as early as this month,” Kishida told a meeting of business leaders from the Group of Seven advanced economies in Tokyo.

The plan will include developing strong supply chains for semiconductors, forming Asia’s biggest hub for startups in Japan and creating visa status that allows highly skilled foreign professionals to work in the country more easily, he said.

“We’ll make Japan more open to the world,” Kishida said, calling for investment in the country.
