The Japanese Prime Minister is set to reshuffle his cabinet today. Media reports are already speculating on the lineup of the 19 cabinet ministers.

Japan’s Kyodo news agency reports Shinzo Abe will keep most of his key ministers, including Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga. His conservative ally Tomomi Inada is expected to be appointed as defense minister.

Inada, 57, shares Abe’s stance on history issues, security policies and constitutional revision.

Abe said he hopes the cabinet reshuffle will help realize his “Abenomics” economic policy package of monetary easing, large-scale fiscal spending and structural reforms.
