Following the request by Okinawa Prefecture to examine the relocation work of the U.S. military Futenma base, saying that the government's response to design changes is illegal, a third-party organization of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications held a meeting, and the national and prefectural governments will hold a meeting in the future. After hearing the opinions in writing from both sides, we confirmed the policy of drawing conclusions by August.

Regarding the relocation work of the U.S. military Futenma base to Henoko, Nago City, Okinawa Prefecture disapproved the design change submitted by the government to improve the soft ground at the planned site, but the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism disapproved after that. Made a decision to cancel.

In response to this decision, on the 9th of this month, the prefecture offered to examine the "National and Local Dispute Resolution Committee" that mediates the dispute between the national and local governments, saying that it was an illegal state's involvement. The first meeting of the committee was held.



At the meeting, discussions were held on how to proceed in the future, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism was requested to submit their opinions in writing by the 8th of next month, and Okinawa Prefecture by the 16th of next month. We examined whether or not he was involved illegally, and confirmed the policy of drawing a conclusion by August 8, which is 90 days after the prefecture's offer.
