To drastically strengthen the defense force, the Liberal Democratic Party aims to achieve the budget level required within five years in the upper house election pledge, and "counterattack capability" to deal with armed attacks such as ballistic missiles. We have decided to include the possession of the above, and will officially announce it next week.
On the 9th, the Liberal Democratic Party held an extraordinary general affairs meeting attended by Prime Minister Kishida and approved the pledge of the Upper House election.
The pledge positions seven areas as priority policies, and in the first diplomatic and security policy, NATO = members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization aim for defense spending in order to drastically strengthen defense capabilities. Keeping in mind that GDP = 2% or more of the gross domestic product, it is clearly stated that we aim to achieve the required budget level within five years from next year.
It also includes possession of "counterattack capability" to deter and deal with armed attacks on Japan, including ballistic missile attacks.
On the other hand, regarding the revision of the Constitution, it is clearly stated that "the revision will be realized at an early stage", and it is an expression that goes beyond the promise of last year's House of Representatives election, which was "aiming for realization". To create a strong economy with "capitalism," it plans to invest in people and raise the minimum wage.
Prime Minister Kishida said, "The world and Japan are at an unprecedented turning point in history after the war. We will do our utmost to make the people judge their determination to" protect Japan and create the future. "
The Liberal Democratic Party will officially announce its pledge next week.
