I had the privilege to be able to attend a talk by ex-PM Nakasone Yasuhiro (中曽根 康弘) last week. Besides serving as the Japanese Prime Minister from 1982 to 1987, he was also the director-general of the Defence Agency in the early 1970s. He is turning 94 years old this year, and his body is weak, but his mind and speech are still very clear. For example, he talked about how relations between countries can only be founded upon the personal relations of their leaders. It was a short talk, lasting less than an hour, but it gave me a chance to meet this renowned Japanese politician.
