A photo exhibition remembering former Japanese PM is held in Taipei

Former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo was a staunch ally of Taiwan’s, and his assassination last year left many Taiwanese saddened. A photo exhibition recalling Abe’s numerous exchanges with Taiwan is being held in his memory, and is the first such memorial for a former Japanese prime minister to be held outside of Japan. President Tsai Ing-wen showed up for the exhibition’s opening day, to express her thoughts on the former PM, who she called a good friend. Pictures of former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo’s past exchanges with Taiwan adorn the walls of a memorial exhibition in Taipei. President Tsai Ing-wen attended the exhibition’s opening day Monday to make a speech. Tsai Ing-wen President Former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo was a good friend of Taiwan, and a good friend of mine. Abe once shared a photo of himself holding a Taiwanese pineapple and smiling warmly. He had repeatedly called on the international community to pay attention to the stability of the Taiwan Strait. His friendship and contributions to Taiwan laid an important foundation for the development of Taiwan-Japan relations. Frank Hsieh Representative to Japan The reason Taiwanese fondly remember Abe is because he supported us, and he was very considerate and attentive. He is historically the most Taiwan-friendly Japanese prime minister. Abe was assassinated in July last year. To remember him, Japan held three photo exhibitions, with a fourth one held outside Japan – in Taiwan. Izumi Hiroyasu Japanese representative to Taiwan For such a grand memorial exhibition for a former Japanese prime minister to be held outside of Japan is historically unprecedented. This demonstrates how much love and respect our Taiwanese friends have for former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo. The exhibition opened just one day after Taiwan and Honduras broke diplomatic ties. Commenting on the matter, Japan’s representative to Taiwan had posted to Facebook saying that Japan would always stand with Taiwan, and would continue to strive for Taiwan. Izumi Hiroyasu Japanese representative to Taiwan We always support Taiwan, which our good friend. When Taiwan faces problems, we are concerned. Just as when we face problems, Taiwan also is concerned. His words of support are a comforting reminder for many in Taiwan, who are still reeling from the loss of another diplomatic ally.
