Abe's widow pointed to building a relationship of trust between Russia and Japan

The trusting relationship that was built by former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Russian President Vladimir Putin should not be wasted. This was announced on May 30 by the widow of the former head of the Japanese government, Akie Abe.

"There are different opinions, but I don't want the trusting relationship that my husband built with President Putin during 27 meetings to go to waste," she wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

She also expressed the hope that cultural exchanges between the two countries will continue.
