To examine the security strategy Ideally focus on enemy base attack capability June 19 4:06
Following the suspension of the deployment plan for the new interceptor missile system "Aegis Ashore", the government plans to proceed with the study of the security strategy at the NSC = National Security Council from this summer. The government will deny the most effective deterrence and coping power within the scope of monopoly defense, and possession of the "enemy base attack capability" that the government has denied will be one of the points of discussion.
Following the suspension of the "Aegis Ashore" deployment plan, Prime Minister Abe said at a press conference on the 18th, "What should be done to strengthen deterrence and coping power? We will discuss thoroughly at the National Security Council." Starting this summer, we will discuss the ideal way of Japan's security strategy at the NSC = National Security Council and announce a new direction.
The government is considering a missile defense system as an alternative to "Aegis Asshore", and the uncertainties in the situation in Northeast Asia are increasing, with North Korea exploding the joint liaison offices in the North and South, and In light of the growing conflict, we will restructure our security strategy to find the most effective deterrent and coping force within the scope of dedicated defense.
In the future study, Prime Minister Abe said on the 18th that there is an opinion within the LDP that the government denies the possession of the "enemy base attack capability," saying, "We must take it as well. Since it is said that it will be one of the focal points of the debate, the government intends to give direction in the fall after conducting intensive discussions at the NSC.
