Xinhua News Agency Beijing, November 6th. Several Japanese media reported on the 6th that Prime Minister Kishida Fumio intends to let former Minister of Science of the Ministry of Culture and Culture Lin Fangzheng serves as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the New Cabinet.
Lin Fangzheng is 60 years old. His father Lin Yilang was once the Minister of the Tibetan Buddhism (equivalent to the "Caissian Minister"). Lin Fangzheng was first elected as a senator in 1995. After five terms, he resigned as a senator in August this year and was elected as a member of the House of Representatives for the first time in the House of Representatives election held in October.

Lin Fangzheng served as Minister of Defense, Minister of Economics and Finance, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Minister of Culture and Science, Minister of Culture and Science, etc., and is called "Policy Connect". He participated in the 2012 Liberal Democratic Party presidential election and lost to Shinzo Abe . He was affiliated with the Kishida faction within the Liberal Democratic Party and was the "second-in-command" of the faction and was trusted by Kishida.
Japan Broadcasting Association TV station interpreted on the 6th that Kishida tried to promote and strengthen foreign policies such as the Japan-US alliance by appointing his confidant Lin Fangzheng as Foreign Minister.
Lin Fang will take over as Foreign Minister Toshisuke Motegi, who transferred to the position of "second-in-chief" of the Liberal Democratic Party on the 4th. The Liberal Democratic Party won the House of Representatives election on October 31, and the seats won better than expected, but lost some seats. The then-Chief Gan Liming unexpectedly lost in the small constituency and then resigned.
Japanese House of Representatives is scheduled to hold a prime ministerial election on the 10th. The Liberal Democratic Party and its ruling ally Komeito Party occupy a majority. Kishida is expected to be elected the 101st Prime Minister and will then form a new cabinet. Japanese media predict that there may be no major changes in the new cabinet except for the position of prime minister. (Liu Xiuling)
