Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda attended the attestation ceremony at the Imperial Palace with the newly appointed 22 senior vice-ministers, who had assembled at the Prime Minister's Official Residence. Prime Minister Fukuda 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. Nobutaka Machimura, the Chief Cabinet Secretary, and others. Prime Minister Fukuda then attended the first meeting of the senior vice-ministers. Following the meeting, Prime Minister Fukuda delivered letters of appointment to the 26 new parliamentary secretaries, who had assembled at the Prime Minister's Official Residence. The Prime Minister then attended a commemorative photograph session and the first meeting of the parliamentary secretaries. In his address at each of the meetings, Prime Minister Fukuda said, "I will devote my energies, working as one with each and every one of you, toward making Japan a nation of "hope and reassurance," in which its young people can embrace hope for tomorrow and its senior citizens can find reassurance."
