Prime Minister Naoto Kan's office confirmed the resignations. Japan's new Cabinet lineup is set to be unveiled in the afternoon, according to Kyodo News.

The new Cabinet will have a new Foreign Minister, because the current Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada was believed to have accepted the post as the secretary general of Japan's ruling Democratic Party.
