Hayashi, who has served as defense, agriculture, as well as economic and fiscal policy minister

He must be a real polymath.

It is common in parliamentary democracy for minsters to have experience with different ministries . It rounds out the minster and gives the minster broad experience and knowledge of government.

Does this guy have any idea of geopolitics and international affairs?

Yes he does which is part of why he's the Prime Minister of the world's 3rd biggest economy and member of the G7....while you just post comments on the internet.
