According to a report by Japan's Kyodo News Agency, Japan's Minister of Defense Shinjiro Koizumi once again called for discussions and adjustments to the “Three Non-Nuclear Principles” at the Tokyo seminar on the 3rd, and said that an environment should be created to honestly discuss necessary safety and security policies, that the whole society should understand the nuclear threat in the process of revising the “Three Security Documents”; showed a positive attitude towards Japan's introduction of nuclear submarines, and hoped that all parties would conduct extensive discussions on how to advance related work in the future. The “Three Non-Nuclear Principles” means “not possessing, not manufacturing, or transporting nuclear weapons.” The “National Security Strategy” in the “Three Security Documents” clearly “the basic policy of adhering to the 'Three Non-Nuclear Principles' will not change in the future.” Takaichi Sanae said in the Diet in October that “specific and realistic discussions” will be held on the introduction of nuclear submarines by the Self-Defense Forces. According to some Japanese media reports, the Takaichi government may adjust the policy statement on the “Three Non-Nuclear Principles” when revising the “Three Security Documents” at the end of the year. Related trends have raised concerns in Japanese society that the Takaichi government is seeking to adjust the nuclear policy.
