Suga Is “Very Capable,” Kato Tells CBS News
-
In an article posted on CBSNews.com, Research Director Sota Kato characterizes Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s new prime minister, as “hardworking, very smart, very capable,” whose rise to the top was accomplished without money, connections, or an iconic political surname.
While Suga is regarded as a shrewd, detail-oriented backroom operator, “whether he can build personal relationships” with other world leaders, Kato notes, remains “a question mark.”
