In his message to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, the Iranian president said that the assassination of Shinzo Abe, the former Japanese prime minister, in an inhumane armed attack was saddening.
“That late diplomat was a great politician for the Japanese people and an international personality, who played an important role in broadening the historical relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Japan,” added the president.
He also expressed sympathy and condoled with the Japanese prime minister, his cabinet members, and the friendly Japanese nation.
