PoliticsJapan’s Diet effectively closes, consensus-building remains a challenge for the next session

Japan’s Diet effectively closed on the night of the 24th after passing laws related to the “second capital” concept. In the final stage, confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties became more acute, and deliberations were at times stalled. With the ruling bloc still short of a majority in the House of Councillors, how to build agreement will remain a challenge for the next Diet session.
