TAKAMATSU -- Tight security and traffic restrictions will be enforced during the Group of Seven Sustainable Urban Development Ministers' Meeting in Takamatsu, which is scheduled to be held from Friday to Sunday.
The Kagawa prefectural police and the Takamatsu Coast Guard are on high alert following the fatal shooting of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in July last year and an incident in which an explosive device was thrown at Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at a campaign speech venue in April.
During the ministerial meeting, the public will be asked to refrain from driving into the city center.
