⚡️🇯🇵 NEW - A Japanese minister arrived 5 minutes late — and apologized to the entire country

A minister in Japan arrived five minutes late to a meeting with the Prime Minister and immediately issued a public apology to the people.

Speaking to the press, she explained that the delay was caused by traffic congestion. In a country where punctuality is taken very seriously, even a small delay can lead to a public explanation.
