Japanese mark anniversary of Shinzo Abe assassination
Politicians have marked one year since the assassination of Japan’s former leader, Shinzo Abe, with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida pledging to tackle pressing political goals as a way of honouring Mr Abe’s wishes.
At a Buddhist temple in Tokyo, Mr Kishida and his governing Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers, as well as representatives from opposition parties and business leaders, attended a closed memorial service hosted by Mr Abe’s widow Akie Abe and the family.
