LDP to send SDF to Nepal A panel of the governing Liberal Democratic Party on March 20 approved the planned dispatch of Self-Defense Forces personnel to Nepal to participate in a U.N. military observer mission, under the law to cooperate with the U.N. peacekeeping operations, party members said. The plan to be submitted for approval to the LDP's policy commission and general council will be adopted by the government at a Cabinet meeting March 27, making way for the first new SDF deployment overseas since the Defense Agency was upgraded to the Defense Ministry in January. Under the plan, six unarmed Ground Self-Defense Force members will be sent to Nepal from April 1 and stay there until March 31 next year to take part in the activities of the U.N. Political Mission in Nepal.
