Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio says he has no intention of dissolving the Lower House for a general election during the current Diet session, which is set to end next week.

Kishida was asked by reporters on Thursday evening about a report that the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party is considering submitting a no-confidence motion against the Cabinet.

Kishida said he instructed ruling Liberal Democratic Party Secretary-General Motegi Toshimitsu to have the motion voted down as soon as it is presented.

The prime minister also said he asked the leader of the LDP's junior coalition partner Komeito, Yamaguchi Natsuo, to cooperate for that purpose.

He said the mission of the Kishida administration is to produce solutions to issues that cannot be postponed, and that he has repeatedly affirmed this stance.

Kishida said the administration has to tackle an increasingly complicated international situation, and take measures to achieve wage hikes in a sustainable way.

He added that his administration must also move forward with other issues, such as implementing action plans it decided on this week to support children and child-rearing households.
