The opening ceremony was held shortly after 1:00 pm, and Mr. Oshima, chairman of the House of Representatives, said, "I can't really stand Keiga for a series of ceremonies following the throne of the Emperor. The situation at home and abroad is extremely severe, and there are a number of important issues that need to be dealt with promptly, and it is necessary to take appropriate measures promptly and to realize a fruitful new era. In this anniversary year, we must renew our commitment to further enhance our constitutional policy. "
After this, His Majesty the Emperor said, "It is my pleasure to see all of the people on a par with the people. For the sake of the stability and improvement of the lives of the people, the peace and prosperity of the world, I am delighted to have been working tirelessly for many years to ensure that the Diet, as the highest body of state power, fulfills its mission and responds to the trust of the people in addressing the immediate and internal problems at hand. I look forward to it. "
