The Minister of defense of Japan Tomomi Inada left his post. She filed a petition of resignation to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Inada decided to go on the fall rating of the Cabinet of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

At a press conference in Tokyo Tomomi Inada said she resigned and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Friday morning took her in. The same day she resigned, and the Ministry of defence has published the results of an investigation on the situation reports on "peacekeeping action" of Japan in the territory of South Sudan.

Inada, once a rising political star, took on the role of Minister of defence in August 2016 and was named by many as the successor to Abe. Japan never had a woman Prime Minister, and Inada - the second woman who served as Minister of defense. First, Yuriko Koike, was elected Governor of Tokyo last year. She is the first woman to serve in this position.
