Japan's PM reaffirms opposition to female imperial succession, citing expert panel's 2021 recommendation.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has reaffirmed her opposition to changing Japan’s male-only imperial succession rules, citing respect for a 2021 expert panel’s recommendation to maintain male-line descent.
The statement comes amid growing concern over a potential succession crisis, as Emperor Naruhito’s daughter Princess Aiko is ineligible under current law.
While public support for allowing women to inherit the throne remains strong, Takaichi emphasized the need for stable succession and deeper discussions on reforming the Imperial House Law, without endorsing changes.
