Tokyo: Japan's Fumio Kishida on Monday took charge as the new Prime Minister of the country at a time when he will need to fight to recover the nation from COVID-19 pandemic challenge.

Kishida, 64, who was elected leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) last week, was officially confirmed as the country's 100th Prime Minster following a parliamentary vote -- his elevation all but a given due to the LDP's majority in the lower house, reports CNN.

Kishida announced his cabinet after the voting was over.

The Cabinet is stacked with allies of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Under Abe's leadership, Kishida had served as  foreign minister from 2012 to 2017.
