Japan Update



Abe seeks to cement

 legacy but hurdles 

await in his final term

TOKYO -- Prime Minister
 Shinzo Abe starts his third 
term as the ruling party's leade
 with no shortage of national 
and global challenges, 
including maintaining
 the political capital to
 tackle them.

Abe is now set to leave office 
no later than September 2021
 under the Liberal Democratic 
Party's current charter.

With the end now in sight, he 
will need to battle the perception
 that his government is growing irrelevant as attention 
increasingly shifts to the issue of succession.
