Outgoing leader holds final cabinet meeting as his successor, Yoshihide Suga, prepares to take over
Japan’s prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has said he is “proud” of his legacy as he and his cabinet resigned, clearing the way for his successor to take the reins pending parliamentary confirmation on Wednesday.
Abe, Japan’s longest-serving prime minister, announced last month that he was stepping down because of health problems.
