Former Japanese Prime Minister ABE Shinzo
|
|
The Committee and members of the Australia Japan Society of Queensland Inc. are shocked and deeply saddened at the news that former Japanese Prime Minister ABE Shinzo has died after been shot in Japan.

This was a senseless act and unrepresentative of Japan’s democratic and peaceful society.
|
|
We extend our sincerest condolences to the people of Japan at this difficult time.
