Komei Policy Research Council Chairman Takagi seeks to gather opinions within the party on allowing export of next-generation fighter jets. Discussions are continuing between the Liberal Democratic Party, which has a policy of allowing the export of defense equipment, and the Komeito Party.
Prime Minister Kishida stated in the Diet that only Japan can export. Without it, Japan's defense would be hindered, so creating an export mechanism would help create a favorable security environment, Takagi said.
