Summary
According to an MLIT press release dated 2026-08-14, the ministry is holding the second joint meeting of the Energy and Economic Security Subcommittee, which sits under the environment committees of the Social Infrastructure Development Council and the Transport Policy Council's transport system subcommittee.

The metadata provided includes only the title and a generic 'press release' label, so the meeting date, agenda details, and any outcomes are not stated.
Business Impact
This is an announcement of a government advisory council meeting, not a rule, so it does not by itself impose obligations. Businesses in transport, mobility, and infrastructure may wish to watch whether the discussions later inform policy direction on energy and economic security.
