  Kishida, who delivered a video speech at a gathering of constitutional revision groups, said that in view of the new crown epidemic and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, there must be in-depth discussions on the emergency response and the status of the Self-Defense Forces.

  He declared that constitutional revision is an extremely important issue that must be "continuously challenged to be realized as soon as possible".

  The current Japanese constitution was implemented in 1947, and it is also called the pacifist constitution because it contains clauses such as permanently abandoning the start of war and not maintaining the army, navy, air force and other war powers.

In recent years, political forces led by former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe have been trying to amend the constitution, and Kishida has repeatedly expressed that he will advance the relevant agenda after he came to power.
