Tokyo: Former Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe said that he had visited the Yasukuni Shrine on Saturday. It is a place that neighboring countries consider China and South and North Korea to symbolize the aggression of the war. Abe gave this information by tweeting.
This is the first visit of Abe, who recently resigned as Prime Minister in seven years. He said he went to the memorial on Saturday and “remembered those killed in the war.” China considers it disputed because it symbolizes the honor of those convicted of war crimes, including the millions of Japanese killed in World War II. It is believed that China and South and North Korea will strongly object to this visit.
