Shinzo Abe's first tenure as prime minister of Japan began on 26 September 2006 when he was officially appointed prime minister by Emperor Akihito in a ceremony at the Tokyo Imperial Palace. In 2007, he initiated the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue with the US, Australia, and India, aimed at resisting China's rise as a superpower. He resigned as premier that year due to his government's unpopularity and illness.
