Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said he will reshuffle his Cabinet on Monday in line with a new policy agenda aimed at accelerating structural reforms.

"I plan to do it on the 30th," Koizumi told reporters Friday at his official residence, adding that ministers will be selected "considering experiences I have had in taking a line of reform since I assumed the post of prime minister."

Koizumi unveiled his new policy agenda at an afternoon meeting with three top executives of his ruling Liberal Democratic Party: Secretary General Taku Yamasaki, Policy Affairs Research Council head Taro Aso and Executive Council chief Mitsuo Horiuchi.
