Following this, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga announced the list of Cabinet members. Furthermore, the attestation ceremony for newly appointed Ministers of State was held at the Imperial Palace, marking the official inauguration of the reshuffled Fourth Abe Cabinet.
Later, Prime Minister Abe held a press conference on the Cabinet reshuffle. Afterwards, the Prime Minister convened the first Cabinet meeting, and then held a commemorative photograph session.
