Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori continued consulting top Liberal Democratic Party officials Monday evening as he tried to finalize the lineup of his new Cabinet, to be launched today.
Mori is expected to announce his new Cabinet after being re-elected prime minister by both houses of the Diet at the beginning of a special three-day session of Japan's legislature.
Political sources said Yoriko Kawaguchi, managing director of Suntory Ltd. and a former bureaucrat of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, will be included in the new Cabinet.
