The Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP) and the Japan Restoration Party chairman of the Diet Countermeasures Committee met to discuss the need to discuss how to respond to North Korea, which is launching ballistic missiles one after another. We agreed on the policy of requesting the ruling parties to hold a joint examination committee as soon as possible.
In response to North Korea's successive launches of ballistic missiles, Constitutional Democratic Party Chairman Azumi and Japan Restoration Party Chairman Endo met in the Diet on the 6th.
Furthermore, as it is necessary to discuss the situation in North Korea and the government's response in the Diet, we will promptly convene a combined review committee of the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Security Committee, and the Special Committee on the Abduction Issue by North Korea. We agreed on the policy to ask the ruling party side.
In addition, at the meeting, it was decided that the two parties would discuss to compile a counter-proposal, in light of the fact that the government plans to submit to the current extraordinary session of the Diet a bill to revise the Infectious Diseases Act to prepare for the future spread of infectious diseases. confirmed.
After the talks, Azumi told reporters, ``Originally, the budget committee would have a full-fledged debate next week, but the ruling party's blunder that the finance minister was absent for a week, and nothing was done. It is the neglect of national politics. It is a critical situation for the nation, so I would like the ruling party to understand it."
In addition, Mr. Endo said, ``If you don't even show your motivation, it will be a legislative branch, and your raison d'être will be questioned.''
After that, Mr. Endo met with the Liberal Democratic Party's chairman of the Diet Affairs Committee, Mr. Takagi, and asked for a joint examination committee to be held.
