Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited his maternal grandfather Nobusuke Kishi's tomb on Tuesday, and there he told his late grandfather that Japan's legislature passed a new National Security Law, which would lift the country's military restrictions.
Sept. 21 marked the 1,000th day of Abe's second tenure as the Japanese prime minister. Abe vowed before the tomb that he would use his experience accumulated in the past 1,000 days to rule the country with his full effort, and that developing the economy will be his top priority.
Nobusuke Kishi also served as the Japanese prime minister from February 1957 to July 1960, during which he passed the new Japan-U.S. Security Treaty, which allowed the United States to use military forces and facilities deployed in Japan for combat bases.
The controversial treaty increased Japan's risk to get involved in another war, resulting in the massive Anti-Security Treaty Movement, and the resignation of Kishi.
