Despite indoctrination in militaristic education during World War II, Yasuo Fukuda would go on to value the importance of diplomacy when he served as chief Cabinet secretary and then prime minister.
In an interview with The Asahi Shimbun, Fukuda, 89, said, βThe role of a politician is to make every effort to not create a situation in which a nation is forced to go to war.β #Japan #peace
