Abe's cabinet is keen on "secrecy law" and nuclear power technology exports have been set aside

Japan's Xinhua Overseas Chinese Daily published a signed commentary article on the 23rd, saying that Shinzo Abe has just been the prime minister of Japan for a year, creating a record of "monthly visits", and has visited Turkey
twice this year.
In addition to conducting "energy diplomacy," Abe travels to the Middle East to promote Japan's nuclear technology
to Middle Eastern countries.
However, at the end of the year, Abe's cabinet rushed to get the new Secrecy Law passed by the Diet first, leaving aside the issue of nuclear power technology exports
.

The nuclear energy agreements signed by Japan with Turkey and the United Arab Emirates on the export of nuclear power technology are difficult to ratify in the current Diet and will likely be left until next
year's regular Congress.
This is because the Abe administration is anxious to give priority to the "Specific Secret Protection Act" in the special committee of the House of Representatives, which has seriously squeezed
the deliberation time of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives.
There are concerns that this may have a negative impact
on nuclear power technology export negotiations.

Exporting nuclear power technology overseas is a major part of
the Abe administration's economic growth strategy.
Especially for Turkey, Shinzo Abe's two foreign visits this year have spent a lot of energy
.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is likely to visit Japan in January next year, and many believe that if the parliament ratifies the agreement before Erdogan's visit, it can further strengthen bilateral relations
between Japan and Turkey.
But for now, it seems that such a wish will be completely frustrated
.
A Japanese Foreign Ministry source pointed out that "this will pour cold water
on the friendly atmosphere (of Japan and Turkey).
" ”

According to relevant sources, Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida spent a lot of time attending special committee meetings
of the House of Representatives at the current Diet.
As a result, the Foreign Affairs Committee's deliberation time has been cut and every effort has been made
to deal only with treaty ratification bills left over from the previous Congress.
According to the analysis, due to the budget preparation for fiscal year 2014 at the end of the year, it is very difficult to significantly extend the period of the National Assembly, and it is impossible for the Senate to complete the review
and approval of the nuclear energy agreement.
