It was formed in 2013 on the initiative of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to replace the ineffective Security Council and to centralize information management. The NSCJ was officially established on 4 December 2013, following the passing of the law establishing the National Security Council on 27 November 2013.
The council is supported by the National Security Secretariat, a department within the Cabinet Secretariat. The National Security Advisor serves as the Secretary-General of the Secretariat.
