It will be 20 years in 5 days since the start of the coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komei Party. The two parties will continue to cooperate, and the response to the revision of the Constitution is likely to become the focus in the future.
The coalition government of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party started on October 5, 1999 in the form of the addition of the Komeito Party to the coalition government of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Liberal Party at that time.
Both parties have regained their power after falling to opposition 10 years ago and are strengthening their cooperation in policy issues and national elections, and will continue to cooperate.
Prime Minister Abe told reporters on the 4th: “Beautiful harmony that makes use of each other's goodness and complements each other. There are major issues such as the extraordinary Diet, but if you cooperate, you can never overcome it. There is nothing to do. "
In addition, Mr. Yamaguchi, representative of the Komeito Party, said, “There should be no looseness or squeak in the government for a long time. I think. ”
In the future, the Liberal Democratic Party wants to proceed with discussions on the constitutional amendment in the Diet, while the Komeito Party is likely to focus on responding to the constitutional amendment with a cautious position in "specifying the Self-Defense Forces".
