Japan's FM says sending Japanese troops to foreign conflict unconstitutional

Tokyo, Mar 5 (UNI) Sending the Japanese self-defense forces to join a military conflict abroad would contradict the country’s constitution, Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa said on Tuesday.
"Generally speaking, sending armed forces to the territorial land, sea, air or other countries for a purpose of exercising force exceeds the minimum necessarily limit that is needed for self-defense and is not allowed under the constitution," Kamikawa told a regular press conference, when asked whether Tokyo might consider sending armed forces to Ukraine.
At the same time, Japan is strongly committed to supporting Ukraine and working together with the "like-minded" countries, including G7 states, to achieve "just and permanent peace" in Ukraine, the minister said.
