March 30, 2017

TOKYO- Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Wednesday decided recommendations that urge the government to promptly consider creating a capability to attack the missile bases of any enemy.

The recommendations also call for studying the introduction of new defense equipment, such as Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, systems, to address North Korean ballistic missiles.

The recommendations were drawn up by a party study group led by former Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera and will be submitted to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday. Jiji Press
