Prime Minister Shinzo Abe delivered a general policy speech in a plenary session of the Diet on September 29, 2006.

I promise to make a total commitment to governance that allows everyone to take part, that opens up a new era, and that is aimed at building a society open to everyone and giving each individual a chance to take on challenges."
Prime Minister Abe concluded his speech to say, "I hope that all the people of Japan who want to challenge together in this new nation building will take part.
