Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has revealed plans to revise the nation's constitution by 2020. Abe revealed his plan in a video address to a gathering of amendment supporters in Tokyo on Wednesday, the nation's Constitution Day. Abe said he has high hopes that the year will also see a new Constitution brought into effect, and that he wants to clear a path in that direction for the country's future. He stressed that a clause acknowledging the existence of the country's Self-Defense Forces should be included in war-renouncing Article 9 of the Constitution. He said this should be done now to finally end all doubt about the legality of the SDF.
