At the extraordinary Cabinet meeting on the afternoon of September 27, the senior-vice ministers and parliamentary secretaries of the Abe Cabinet were decided.

In the late afternoon, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attended the attestation ceremony at the Imperial Palace with the 22 senior vice-ministers who had assembled at the Prime Minister's Official Residence. Prime Minister Abe and the senior vice-ministers thereafter returned to the Prime Minister's Official Residence and attended a commemorative photograph session, which was also joined by Mr. Yasuhisa Shiozaki, the Chief Cabinet Secretary, and others. Prime Minister Abe then attended a meeting of the senior vice-ministers.

Next, Prime Minister Abe delivered letters of appointment to the 26 parliamentary secretaries who had assembled at the Prime Minister's Official Residence. Likewise with the senior-vice ministers, Prime Minister Abe attended a photograph session with the parliamentary secretaries and then attended their meeting.

At both meetings, Prime Minister Abe said in his address, "I expect each of you will take to heart the Basic Policies to build 'a beautiful country, Japan,' exert all your skills to serving your post, and join hands in our endeavor to fulfill the mandate of the Japanese people."
