At its 56th session on June 14, the CSTP decided its "Comprehensive Strategy for Creating Innovation" and "FY2007 Resources Allocation Guideline for S&T Budget," and communicated them to the Prime Minister as well as other relevant ministers.
Prime Minister Koizumi concluded the meeting by saying, "We have been increasing the S&T budget because it is investment for tomorrow. We will formulate the S&T budget, with selection and focus, to make Japan an advanced S&T-oriented nation, taking into account the creation of innovation, collaboration among industry, academia, and government, and cooperation among relevant ministries."
