Japan PM considering cabinet reshuffle
Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan is leaning toward a cabinet reshuffle before a parliament session next month as he tries to woo a tiny opposition party into the coalition, the Nikkei daily reported on Saturday.
The premier has offered cabinet posts to the Sunrise Party of Japan, which has six members of parliament including former finance minister Kaoru Yosano, a fiscal hawk, and former trade minister Takeo Hiranuma, an outspoken nationalist, the business daily said. (Reuters)
