Komeito: Certain restraints are needed to allow export of next-generation fighter jets, etc. Discussions are continuing between the Liberal Democratic Party, which has a policy of allowing the export of defense equipment jointly developed with other countries.

The New Komeito Party has softened its cautious stance in light of Prime Minister Kishida's request for understanding of the need for exports in the Diet. The party plans to decide on its response based on discussions on the 8th of this month.
