At the general meeting of the Liberal Democratic Party held on the 20th, the government drafted a basic guideline that stipulated the necessary requirements for designating "specific important materials", which are assumed to be semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, and which the government will support for stable supply. showed.
In this proposal, four requirements are required for the designation of "Specified Important Goods", such as being indispensable for the lives of the people, and being overly dependent on external sources because supplies are concentrated in a small number of countries and regions. That's what I'm saying.
In addition, in the field of "specific important technology" related to national security, we will promote research in 20 fields such as AI = artificial intelligence and biotechnology, as well as semiconductor technology and quantum information science, and give priority support from among these. I'm trying to narrow down the target.
There were no particular objections raised at the meeting, and the proposal for the basic guidelines was approved.
