The Liberal Democratic Party on Saturday held a dialogue with young people on revising the Constitution, in order to build momentum for the issue ahead of a party convention.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who also serves as the LDP president, attended the discussions at the party's headquarters. The ruling party hopes to make progress on constitutional revision during the current Diet session, but both the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and the Japanese Communist Party have shown resistance.
It remains to be seen whether such discussions will proceed as the LDP intends.
