Who's who in the Cabinet of Japan's new PM Fumio Kishida


(Clockwise from top left) Fumio Kishida's new Cabinet team includes Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki, Foreign Affairs Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and Defence Minister Nobuo Kishi.

TOKYO (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): As Fumio Kishida gets sworn in as Japan's 100th Prime Minister on Monday (Oct 4), his new Cabinet team will also start work.

There is very little continuity between his ministerial team and the one under outgoing Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, with only two ministers retaining their posts - Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, 65, and Defence Minister Nobuo Kishi, 62.
