TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Fumio Kishida was re-elected Wednesday as Japan's prime minister by parliament after the ruling coalition won the general election last month, with his government making a fresh start to the work of reviving the coronavirus-hit economy and reducing income disparities.
Kishida retained the lineup of his first Cabinet, formed on Oct. 4 when he took office, except for naming a new foreign minister -- Yoshimasa Hayashi, a former education minister known for his close ties to China.
