Japan PM Yoshihiko Noda names new ministers

Japanese PM Yoshihiko Noda has named a new finance minister, in a reshuffle aimed at revitalising his cabinet, BBC reports.
Koriki Jojima replaces Jun Azumi in the key post, while the foreign and defence ministers kept their jobs.
Makiko Tanaka, who served a brief tenure as foreign minister, was named education minister in a move seen as reflecting her ties with Beijing amid a territorial row with China.
Mr Noda, hit by poor poll figures, said the move would help tackle key issues.
"This is a reshuffle that will help the government and the ruling parties cooperate to address a number of issues we are facing domestically and diplomatically, and further strengthen the function of the cabinet," he said.
