Tokyo, Nov 20 (UNi) Shinzo Abe became the longest-serving prime minister in Japanese history on Wednesday, breaking the previous record set by Taro Katsura over a century ago.
Abe, 65, has been in office for 2,887 days in his current tenure since returning to power in 2012 and in a brief stint at the helm between 2006-2007.
He vowed to make an all-out effort to tackle his policy goals such as ending deflation, dealing with the nation's aging population and declining birthrate, as well as revising the Constitution.
