The statement came after an attack on PM’s political programme

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on Sunday that Japan must do everything to ensure safety as foreign dignitaries gather for a G7 summit.

The Japanese leader was evacuated unhurt on Saturday after a suspect threw what appeared to be a smoke bomb at an outdoor speech in western Japan on Saturday.

Talking to reporters, Kishida also said that Japan must not allow acts of violence that attack the foundation of democracy.
