According to a report by Jiji Press on July 23: During his visit to Europe, Japanese Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba stated in discussions about future security policies, including nuclear deterrence, "If we hesitate and refrain from discussing nuclear weapons, no country can independently establish its national defense and security."
