Japan PM Kishida apologises for his party's ties with Unification Church

Summary by Ground News

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida apologised for his party members' reported activities with the controversial Unification Church. He said politicians had a duty of being cautious about their ties with various organisations. The move follows a widening scandal triggered by former leader Shinzo Abe's assassination last month. Revelations of long-running links between some lawmakers of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the church have become a headache. The church, founded in South Korea in the 1950s, has faced questions over how it solicits donations.
