Japan PM Kishida To Reshuffle Cabinet

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said he plans to reshuffle his cabinet as early as Wednesday and to compile a package of drastic economic measures soon after.

“I’m thinking of conducting a personnel change of party leadership and of the cabinet as early as the 13th,” Kishida told a press conference in New Delhi on the sidelines of a G20 summit meeting.

Kishida, who said last month he planned to compile a package of economic measures in September, told the press conference that he aimed to draw up comprehensive steps.
