Japan's new prime minister, Fumio Kishida, makes his debut in parliamentary questioning on Monday, the first chance for the opposition to probe Kishida's promises and plans since he took office last week, APA reports quoting Reuters.
With the general election scheduled to take place in three weeks' time, tackling the next wave of the coronavirus pandemic and rebuilding a weak economy are set to become key issues of debate.

The main opposition party believes in expanding testing and has previously said Japan should stop lurching in and out of soft lockdowns.
