Japan's Leader Urges UN to Drop 'Enemy State' Label

In her first speech at the United Nations, Japan's leader Takaichi called for the removal of Japan's wartime 'enemy state' label from the UN Charter. She made the appeal during the UN General Assembly, arguing that the 1940s-era designation no longer reflects Japan's role in the world. Takaichi also reaffirmed Japan's commitment to a free and open international order.
