AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoWorld Cup 2026 (Tunisia vs Japan): Tunisia’s new coach Hervé Renard says his side must be “collectively perfect” to upset Japan in the 1,000th World Cup finals match in Monterrey, after a 5-1 opening loss to Sweden and a coaching change from Sabri Lamouchi. Japan, coming off a 2-2 draw with the Netherlands, will be without injured Takefusa Kubo, while captain Wataru Endo also missed the opener due to an 11th-hour withdrawal. Immigration: Japan will raise single-entry visa fees fivefold to 15,000 yen from July, and multiple-entry fees to 30,000 yen, citing inflation and yen depreciation. Security/Defense: Japan’s parliament approved a defense-supply sharing pact with the Philippines, enabling logistics and ammunition support as regional tensions with China grow. Japan-China: China’s rare-earth export curbs to Japan are extending, with negligible shipments of key magnet materials reported for May. Economy/Investment: Japan plans a target of about $2.3 trillion (370 trillion yen) in public-private investment by 2040 across 17 strategic sectors, including AI, chips, and space. Society/Sports culture: Japanese World Cup fans’ stadium clean-up tradition is praised abroad, but sparked backlash at home over gender-role “double standards.”
