Defense Minister Inada inspects MSDF base

Defense Minister Tomomi Inada inspects a Maritime Self-Defense Force base in the western Japan city of Kure on July 3, 2017. The visit came after the ruling Liberal Democratic Party suffered a historic defeat in the Tokyo assembly election the previous day, apparently partly affected by controversial comments she had made in a stump speech about the Self-Defense Forces supporting one of the party's candidates.
