Looking back at the career of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe

(Baonghean.vn) - The ruling coalition between the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Komeito Party won the Japanese House of Representatives election, so Mr. Abe continued to become Prime Minister of the land of the rising sun.

Mr. Shinzo Abe was born on September 21, 1954, into a famous family with a high political position. In 1977, he graduated from the Faculty of Law at Seikei University in Tokyo, Japan. In 1978, Mr. Abe completed his political science major at the University of Southern California, USA.

After a brief stint at Kobe Steel, Mr. Abe became an assistant to his father, Japanese Foreign Minister Shintaro Abe, in 1982. From here, his political career began to develop.

In 1986, he was appointed as Private Secretary to the President of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). Mr. Abe was then elected to the National Assembly (Lower House) in 1993 and was elected as a Standing Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives of Japan.

In 1999, Mr. Abe was the LDP's Director in charge of social affairs and in 2000, served as Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary in Prime Minister Mori's Government.

From 2001 to 2005, Mr. Abe continued to serve as Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary in Prime Minister Koizumi's Government. On October 31, 2005, he was officially approved as Chief Cabinet Secretary in Prime Minister Koizumi's Government.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Koizumi, Japan has become more dynamic (the person behind, on the left, is Shinzo Abe).

In 2006, Shinzo Abe became the President of the Liberal Democratic Party and became Prime Minister of Japan. Mr. Abe held this position during the 2006-2007 term. He resigned after a year in power due to health reasons. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was re-elected for a second term and became Prime Minister of Japan.
