The Japanese government has begun its ordinary parliament session, which is called the Diet. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is expected to give his policy speech during the session. The session is scheduled to last for 150 days, until June 22nd. Abe’s policy speech and three other government policy statements are expected on the first day of the session.

Q2: There’s been no end to the criticisms on Abe’s visit to the Yasukuni Shrine¹, and his state secret law is causing controversy² within Japan... would these form the opposition’s base for challenge to Abe?
