　日本維新の会と国民民主党は９日、国会内で初の幹事長・国対委員長会談を開き、憲法議論の活性化へ連携していくことで一致した。両党は憲法改正論議に前向きで、衆参両院の憲法審査会の定例日開催を与党側に求めることも確認した。

The Democratic Party for the People and Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Innovation Party), both opposition parties, agreed on Tuesday to work together to promote constitutional debate in Japan.
   The agreement was reached when the two sides held their first meeting of their secretaries-general and parliamentary affairs heads within the Diet, the country's parliament.
   The parties, which back constitutional amendment debate, also agreed to call on the ruling camp to regularly hold meetings of the commissions on the Constitution in both chambers of the Diet.
   The Nippon Ishin side asked the DPFP side to hold talks before the start of a special session of the Diet on Wednesday.
   The two sides also agreed to jointly submit to an extraordinary Diet session that will be convened later this year a bill to amend the law on lawmakers' salaries to reduce them by 20 pct. Such a reduction had been implemented following the spread of the novel coronavirus.
