“Strengthening the effectiveness of effective control of the Senkaku Islands” Proposal by the LDP Parliamentary Union September 17, 5:07
In response to the increasing activity of China in the waters around the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture, the LDP Parliamentary League has been effectively controlled by the Self-Defense Forces jointly training in the Nansei Islands, including the Senkaku Islands. We have put together a proposal that the effectiveness should be strengthened.
In the waters around the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture, the China Coast Guard ship continued to sail in the continental zone just outside Japan's territorial waters for 111 consecutive days, the longest ever until the 2nd of last month. The Liberal Democratic Party's Defense Parliamentary League has put together a proposal to strengthen the effectiveness of effective control.
According to the draft proposal, "It is clear from historical and international law that the Senkaku Islands are a territory peculiar to Japan, and it is a very important issue concerning sovereignty. It actually controls effectively, but it is more effective. Need to be increased. "
On top of that, in order to strengthen defense capabilities, the Self-Defense Forces will conduct joint training between Japan and the United States in the Nansei Islands, including the Senkaku Islands, make the airports and ports of the Southwest Islands available to the Self-Defense Forces, and develop ports for escort vessels. I want to do things like that.
In addition, as it is necessary to strengthen the system of the Japan Coast Guard, the patrol boat will be equipped with anti-aircraft radar, cooperation with the Self-Defense Forces will be promoted in response to violations of the territory, and the budget will be expanded so that the number of personnel and patrol boats can be increased. Should be.
The Parliamentary Union will meet on the 17th to formally decide on the recommendations and submit them to the government soon.
