Temporary autumn parliament to convene in early next month Focus on constitutional amendment September 2nd 4:06

The government and the ruling party are coordinating to convene early next month for the extraordinary Diet session in autumn. The extraordinary Diet will focus on whether discussions between the ruling and opposition parties will take place and discussions on the revision of the Constitution will proceed based on this month's cabinet reshuffle.

The government and the ruling party will convene an extraordinary session of parliament in early next month after Prime Minister Abe attends the United Nations General Assembly. Adjustments are made in the direction of the month.

At the extraordinary Diet session, Prime Minister Abe's statement of speech, representative questions of each party and budget committees will be held, and discussions between the ruling and opposition parties will be exchanged based on the reorganization of the Cabinet scheduled this month.

In addition, the government will submit about 20 bills, including amendments to the Companies Act, which require listed companies to set up outside directors, and obtain approval from the Diet when it reaches the signing of an agreement on trade negotiations between Japan and the United States. It is a policy to enter the procedure for.

In addition, a bill with remedies is expected to be filed after the class action by the family of a former patient with leprosy has been finalized.

The Liberal Democratic Party, on the other hand, seeks cooperation from the opposition party and wants to proceed with a discussion on the constitutional amendment. The focus will be whether or not.
