The three top executives of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party said Monday the party will seek cooperation from opposition parties in an extraordinary Diet session that opens Monday to have bills passed as quickly as possible.
The extra session will deal mainly with bills to stabilize the financial system, including a "bridge bank" plan to keep credit flowing to borrowers.
Yoshiro Mori, newly appointed LDP secretary general, told reporters that the party will listen to opposition parties' proposals and possibly adopt their ideas. "Our ultimate aim is to implement measures that are good for the public," Mori said. "If opposition parties have better ideas, the LDP is ready to listen to them and even take their ideas with an open mind."
