The Japanese Communist Party (JCP) opened a two-day meeting Wednesday at its Tokyo headquarters with an aim to topple Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's government, JCP officials said.

According to Japan's Kyodo News, JCP leader Kazuo Shii addressed the fourth plenary meeting of the JCP Central Committee, in which he said Koizumi's handling of the nation's politics teeters on the brink of disaster.

Shii said the JCP played an important role in ferreting out various problems, particularly those associated with scandal-hit lawmaker Muneo Suzuki and his shady relations with the Foreign Ministry.

He said the current administration has lost its legitimacy in the fields of foreign diplomacy and economic governance.

Shii also said the number of JCP members has surpassed 400,000 as he had promised in the previous meeting held last October.

He sought wider support for the party's efforts to win next year's nationwide local elections.
