According to a report by Japan's Kyodo News Agency, Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its ruling partner, the Japan Restoration Association, held their first working-level consultation today to discuss matters such as revising the “Three Security Documents.” Allegedly, the two sides discussed the direction of “strengthening defense and diplomatic strength” around the “current security situation.” The main topics include the positioning of the “three non-nuclear principles,” the issue of nuclear-powered submarines, and setting new defense cost targets. The report said that the Restoration Council called for “realistic discussions” on the expression “not transporting nuclear weapons” in the “Three Non-Nuclear Principles” and proposed the introduction of nuclear-powered submarines as soon as possible to strengthen deterrence. The Liberal Democratic Party's proposal did not cover the above. The two sides plan to discuss the proposed direction by mid-December and strive to complete the revision of the “Three Security Documents” within this year. Recently, the Japanese government has continued to push for the expansion of military weapons in an attempt to revise defense policies, which has aroused opposition and concern within Japan and abroad. Japanese peace activists warned that if the High Government fails to face up to the lessons of history, Japan may once again be directed in an extremely dangerous direction.
