Vice President Sara Duterte on Monday, July 11, sent her condolences to the Japanese government and people for the demise of the country’s longest-serving prime minister, Shinzo Abe, and condemned what she called the “senseless violence” that led to it.
In a Facebook post, Duterte shared that she visited the official residence of Japanese Ambassador to the Philippines Koshikawa Kazuhiko to personally convey her sympathy over Abe’s death.
The Vice President shared a photo of the message she wrote on the condolence book in Kazuhiko’s residence. “I join the Filipino people in condemning the senseless act of violence that claimed the life of a great leader. While words might be of little solace at this time, kindly allow me to express my sincerest appreciation for his significant and impactful contributions in bringing our countries even closer,” Duterte wrote.
The Japanese leader, who served from 2006 to 2007 and from 2012 to 2020, died in hospital on Friday, July 8, after being shot twice while giving a speech during a political event in Nara, central Japan.
