explanation: Founded in 1869, the ministry of foreign affairs was a rare ministry not affected by a great ministerial reorganization of 2000 but troubled by the international and internal problems such as territorial disputes, visit of ex Taiwanese president, school manual problem, fraud on secret funds etc. Moreover, newly appointed rowdy Tanaka Makiko declared a war to her own ministry by accusing the executives of dissimulating the fraud on secret funds of foreign ministry.
