Tokyo, January 5 (Xinhua) — Leaders of Japan's opposition parties expressed concern on Monday over the U.S. military attack on Venezuela and criticized the Japanese government's response, local media reported.
"I am concerned that these attacks could significantly undermine the international order," Tetsuo Saito, leader of the Komeito Party, an ally of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, said at a party conference, Jiji Press reported.
He added that the government should "urge the United States to understand the importance of upholding international law."
Yoshihiko Noda, head of the opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, told reporters that the US attacks "raise doubts from the perspective of international law," the report said.
“Not only Japan, but also middle powers, including European and Asian countries, must cooperate and demand [compliance with laws],” he said.
The statements came a day after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi wrote on social media site X on Sunday that her government would work to help stabilize Venezuela, without commenting on the U.S. military action.
