Prime Minister Does Not Clearly Affirm Commitment to the Three Non-Nuclear Principles Amid Security Documents Revision Debate

Tokyo Shimbun | Local Language | News | Nov. 13, 2025 | Geopolitical Conflict and Disputes

On November 11, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi appeared before the House of Representatives Budget Committee and was questioned about her commitment to upholding Japan’s Three Non-Nuclear Principles during the upcoming revision of three security-related documents scheduled for next year. She refrained from providing a definitive statement, noting that the review process had not progressed to a stage where she could comment on specific wording.

Regarding her previous remarks suggesting that a contingency involving Taiwan could constitute a "situation in which the survival of the nation is threatened," thereby justifying collective self-defense, Takaichi maintained that these comments do not change the government’s established position. She emphasized that whether such a situation exists would be based on the government’s comprehensive assessment of all relevant information and circumstances.

The Three Non-Nuclear Principles, which Japan adheres to, prohibit possessing, producing, or permitting the introduction of nuclear weapons. Last year, during the Liberal Democratic Party leadership election, Takaichi indicated a need to revisit the principle on "not permitting the introduction." In her recent statements, she acknowledged that her previous remarks had been interpreted as veering beyond the traditional stance and stated she would reflect on this for future parliamentary discussions.
