Japan Diet compiles proposal on imperial law revision at cross-party talks

TOKYO - Japan's parliament on Wednesday compiled a proposal to revise a law aimed at ensuring a sustainable imperial family system after all 13 political parties and groups in both houses held a meeting, paving the way for an amendment to be enacted by July 17, when the current parliamentary session ends.

After announcing its finalization at a press conference, House of Representatives Speaker Eisuke Mori handed the proposal, drafted by the leaderships of the lower chamber and the House of Councillors, to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
