“The loss of Mr Abe is actually a tragedy for Japan and for the world. People will remember his long career serving his country in the various positions he held over the years. On this sad occasion, I would like to extend my deepest condolences and condolences from you, his family and the Japanese people, hoping that the killers will be brought to justice,” it added.
