Japan's new Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba unveiled his cabinet lineup on Tuesday, consisting of 13 first-time appointees, two reappointments and four returning ministers with previous cabinet experience.
In the new cabinet, former Defense Minister Takeshi Iwaya became minister of foreign affairs, while former Defense Minister Gen. Nakatani once again returned to the post. Yoshimasa Hayashi, the top government spokesperson under Kishida, will retain the post of chief cabinet secretary.
Katsunobu Kato, one of Ishiba's competitors in the Liberal Democratic Party presidential race, will take the position of finance minister, while Yoji Muto will serve as minister for economy, trade and industry.
Ishiba will later be formally inaugurated in a ceremony at the Imperial Palace and hold a press conference in the evening to lay out his policy priorities.
