TOKYO - The Japanese government is preparing to establish a new strategic headquarters led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to promote regional economic revitalization, local media reported.

The body will formulate concrete measures to attract investment, foster industrial clusters, and encourage population migration to local areas, national broadcaster NHK reported.

In her policy speech, Takaichi has highlighted that government-backed initiatives have drawn semiconductor manufacturers to Kumamoto and Hokkaido, generating visible economic benefits.

To replicate such success stories nationwide, the new headquarters, composed of relevant cabinet ministers, will focus on policies to boost local industries' value-added production, support new market development, and strengthen regional supply chains, according to the report.
