""There is absolutely no change in our commitment to upholding the path and fundamental principles we have followed as a peace-loving nation for over 80 years since the war," Takaichi reassured, emphasizing Japan's ongoing dedication to peace despite the policy shift."
Japan has approved a significant change in defense export rules, ending restrictions on lethal weapons sales. This shift allows for the export of fighter jets, missiles, and warships. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi emphasized the need for partnerships in defense equipment to ensure national security.

Takaichi aims to boost the domestic arms industry as a means of economic growth while maintaining Japan's commitment to peace.
