In order to support the transfer of defense equipment overseas, LDP lawmakers, including former defense ministers, have decided to establish a new parliamentary federation.
With regard to the overseas transfer of defense equipment, the "National Security Strategy" revised in December 2018 will consider revising the operational guidelines for the "Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment" in order to facilitate smooth transfer in a wide range of fields. We are planning to proceed with the transfer.
About 20 lawmakers of the Liberal Democratic Party held a meeting on the 2nd and confirmed the establishment of a new parliamentary federation, saying it was necessary to boost the government's efforts to move overseas.
The parliamentary federation is called ``a group for drastic promotion of the construction of the next-generation defense industry and the transfer of equipment overseas. It is a policy to go.
Former Minister of Defense Onodera, representative of the founder, said, "Through the transfer of defense equipment, the capabilities of countries that share the same values as Japan will be enhanced, which will lead to the enhancement of Japan's security capabilities. Through the transfer of equipment, we hope to contribute to regional stability. I would like to work on it," he said.
