Fumio Kishida to be approved Japan's next Prime Minister

Japan's parliament votes Monday to approve Fumio Kishida as the country's next prime minister. The soft-spoken scion of a Hiroshima political family, Kishida beat popular vaccine chief Taro Kono to win leadership of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party last week. Kishida will unveil his new cabinet on Monday afternoon, but details reported in local media suggested he would keep on several ministers in key portfolios.
