The Japanese government is strengthening the construction of the national intelligence system and establishing a unified national intelligence command system. According to previous reports by CCTV International News, Japan's National Intelligence Agency may begin operations as early as 2026. The outside world is concerned that Japan's active foreign intelligence activities and increasing confrontation will have a serious impact on regional security. According to the latest plan, the existing Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office will be elevated to the "National Intelligence Agency" and serve as the central intelligence hub, coordinating intelligence collection, analysis, and sharing among government departments. The related reforms are expected to be launched as early as July this year. (The Paper)
