Gen Nakatani becomes Japan's defense chief

Japan's top government spokesman Yoshihide Suga announced Wednesday the lineup of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's new cabinet, with Gen Nakatani being appointed as the new defense chief.

Other ministers retained their posts.

Former Defense Minister Akinori Eto declined the reappointment due to a political fund scandal.

Abe was re-elected as Japan's prime minister during a special Diet session Wednesday afternoon.

Several ministers in the last cabinet launched in September after a reshuffle, including Eto, were trapped by political fund scandals which forced two women ministers' resignation.
