Japan s former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a divisive arch-conservative and one of his nation s most influential figures, was on Friday killed after he was fatally shot at during an election campaign in western Japan s Nara city.
PM Modi wrote in his letter how The Quad, the ASEAN-led forums, the Indo Pacific Oceans Initiative, the Asia-Africa Growth Corridor and the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure all benefited from the late Japanese PM s contributions.
Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi also expressed grief and said, I am shocked at the assassination of Shinzo Abe, former Prime Minister of Japan.
