An aide to Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida has apologised after being pictured with his hands in his pockets while his boss spoke to the media during their recent visit to Washington DC, for a summit with US president Joe Biden.
Deputy chief cabinet secretary Seiji Kihara, 52, expressed remorse and said that his mother had called him to say she was “ashamed” of his behaviour and had suggested he sew up his suit pockets in future to prevent a repeat embarrassment on the world stage, according to Fortune.
