The Japanese government has announced that it will convene a regular session of the Diet, Japan's bicameral legislature, on the 23rd. The news typically indicates anticipation of major policy discussions and legislative actions on national matters. Details of the session's agenda, including the topics to be debated and bills to be proposed, are expected to follow.

The convocation of a regular Diet session is a major political event in Japan. It's a chance for the ruling party and the opposition to square off on key national issues. The public pays close attention, as the performance of parties can influence public opinion and impact future elections.

This is similar to the session assemblies in the US Congress or the European Parliament. In these assemblies, like in Japan, nation's major political, economic, and social issues are debated and legislation is enacted.
