In his first speech to the Diet since he was re-elected as Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe says he will be enhancing Japan's defense capabilities, a response to the growing threat from North Korea.
Abe laid out his general policies at a plenary session on Friday.
Abe said, "Following the Lower House election last month, I was chosen by Diet members to continue carrying out the grave responsibility of the role of Prime Minister. The election results demonstrate the public's willingness for the government to continue implementing its policies through a stable political platform."
Referring to North Korea, Abe says the security situation surrounding Japan is at its most severe since the end of World War Two.
He says together with the international community, he will increase pressure on Pyongyang to help resolve the nuclear and missile development issue as well as abductions of Japanese nationals in the 70's and 80's.
Prime Minister Abe then said, "As North Korean provocations escalate, I will take concrete action under the strong Japan-US alliance to prepare for all possible situations. I will do my best to enhance Japan's defense capabilities."
Abe also said he strongly believes discussions on Constitutional revisions will move forward as Diet members try to solve difficult issues.
Abe's Liberal Democratic Party is looking at various parts of the founding document, including the article that renounces war.
The party says it will continue discussions.

China's presidential envoy has arrived in Pyongyang. He is expected to exchange opinions with North Korea over the North's nuclear and missile programs.
The head of the Chinese Communist Party's international department, Song Tao, departed from an airport in Beijing on Friday.
The visit comes just days after US President Donald Trump's tour of Asia, where he made North Korea one of his top priorities.
Trump took to Twitter on Thursday, describing the envoy's visit as "a big move." He has repeatedly asked for China's cooperation to intensify pressure on North Korea.
The outcome of the trip may influence a key decision Trump is about to make concerning whether to name North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism.
The North was previously listed but was removed by former US president George W Bush in 2008 after an agreement on nuclear inspections.
Trump has come under increasing pressure from Congress to put the country back on the list after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's half-brother was murdered in Malaysia in February. It is widely suspected that Kim ordered the assassination, although Pyongyang denies any involvement.

Five objects from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki will be part of an exhibition held in Norway to mark the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.
The 2017 Nobel Peace Prize went to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, or ICAN, for its efforts leading to the adoption of a landmark treaty to ban nuclear weapons. An award ceremony will be held in Oslo next month.
To mark the occasion, the city's Nobel Peace Center will hold an exhibition about ICAN. It will also display personal belongings of atomic bomb victims.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum will lend a bag and an air-raid hood used by a 13-year-old student at the time of bombing.
Yukitoshi Masuda was at his work place about 500 meters from ground zero when the bomb hit the city. His remains were not found. Residents near the site took his bag and hood to his family next day.
Items from the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum will include a rosary found in a house burnt down by the bomb, and a watch with its hands stopped at 11:02 AM -- the exact time of the bombing.
Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto will also offer a lunch box that belonged to a male student victim.
Nobel Peace Center's Director of Exhibition Liv Astrid Sverdrup said they were looking for items that will convey across generations and borders, the damage and pain caused by nuclear weapons, as well as the personality of their former owners.
She added she hopes the exhibition will spark debate that nuclear weapons must be abolished.
Deputy Director of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Shuichi Kato, said it is significant that the items from bombing victims will be displayed when people in the world observe the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.
Kato said he hopes the exhibition will offer an opportunity for people to know the cruelty of atomic bombs and will make them feel that nuclear arms should be abolished.

The first batch of radioactive waste from the 2011 nuclear accident has arrived at a final disposal site in Fukushima Prefecture.
Containers filled with radioactive ash were delivered by trucks to the facility in Tomioka Town on Friday and placed on the site with cranes. The ash consists of incinerated debris and other waste produced near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
The disposal site accepts waste with radioactive concentrations of between 8,000 and 100,000 becquerels per kilogram.
The Environment Ministry plans to place the ash in special containers or pack them in cement. It will monitor groundwater and nearby rivers for possible contamination.
The facility in Fukushima is the only place where final disposal of contaminated materials is possible.
Persistent local opposition has prevented other prefectures from designating their dump sites.
A ministry official says the ministry will continue efforts to seek residents' understanding for the project.
