The bill seeking approval of the new trade agreement between Japan and the United States will be discussed at the plenary session of the House of Representatives on the 24th of next week, with Prime Minister Abe also attending.

Regarding the proposal for the approval of the new trade agreement between Japan and the United States, the chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party, Mr. Moriyama, and the chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party, Azumi Diet, discussed the future deliberations.

Mr. Moriyama proposed that he would enter the House of Representatives on the 24th of next week for approval at the current Diet session, while Mr. Azumi attended the question with Prime Minister Abe. We requested that the Joint Review Committee, which includes the committees involved, also hold a discussion.

On the 24th of next week, Prime Minister Abe also agreed to attend the House of Representatives plenary session.

In addition, Mr. Yasuzumi will continue to discuss the issue where the executives of Kansai Electric Power received large amounts of money, seeking intensive deliberation and invitation of executives.

On the other hand, Mr. Yasumi said that there was a suspicion that the contents of the Diet question notified to the government had leaked to the outside before the committee held, and asked Mr. Moriyama to clarify the truth and prevent recurrence. "It ’s regrettable,” he said.
