In a speech to a plenary session of the lower house of Japan’s Diet on October 25, Abe emphasized that, given the current security situation in Asia, “It is essential to strengthen command functions for implementing the prime minister’s national security policy.” Now that split control of the Diet’s upper and lower houses has been resolved, with Abe’s Liberal Democrats in strong control of both chambers, a bill to modernize Japan’s national-security governance is certain to pass.
在10月25日日本下议院全体会议讲话中，安倍晋三强调，考虑到目前亚洲安全局势，“加强指挥功能对于落实首相国家安全政策至关重要。”如今，对日本国会上下议院控制权分裂的情况已不复存在，安倍的自民党牢牢控制着两院，因此现代化日本国家安全治理的法案肯定将获得通过。
