Скачать или смотреть Former military officer Nakatani only change in PM Abe's new cabinet line-up

(24 Dec 2014) Shinzo Abe was re-elected by Japan's parliament on Wednesday to serve another term as prime minister after winning a renewed mandate for his "Abenomics" strategies that helped revive the world's third-biggest economy.
Abe appointed a former military officer, Gen Nakatani, as Defence Minister, but kept the other members of his previous Cabinet.
Nakatani served as Defence Minister under former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and supports a stronger role for Japan's military, which is constrained by the country's commitment to pacifism under the constitution drafted by the American occupation forces following Japan's defeat in World War II.
Abe favours revising the constitution as part of his effort to fortify Japan's military, after already revising policies to allow the defence forces to aid allies if they come under attack.
