TOKYO - Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will consult with doctors before holding a news conference on Friday , three sources familiar with the situation told Reuters, amid worries about his health after two recent hospital examinations.
The consultations with the doctors on Friday could involve another visit to the hospital or may be carried out by phone, the sources said. They spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. Mr Abe's close ruling Liberal Democratic Party ally, Mr Akira Amari, sought to dispel qualms over Mr Abe's health on Tuesday, telling Reuters that he looked better than in mid-August and would likely fulfil his tenure until September next year.
"We want him to continue to look after his health and show us his leadership," Kyodo news quoted Mr Nishimura as saying during a parliamentary committee meeting.
