Abe Shinzo

Under Abe’s government, Japan’s ties with India expanded beyond economic relations to include nuclear and security cooperation too.

The political shockwaves from Abe's assassination are just starting to be felt with the upper house election.

From the Indo-Pacific to the Quad, Abe spearheaded the strategic concepts shaping the region today.

The former Japanese leader has been remembered for spearheading a redoubling of Tokyo's engagement with the nations of the region.

The shocking murder highlighted Abe's unique stature. But aside from the high-profile target, the killing fit a pattern of lone wolf attacks in Japan.

Japan is reeling after the assassination of its longest-serving leader while on the campaign trail for the upcoming election.

The former prime minister, 67, was gunned down while campaigning for Sunday's upper house elections.

The Liberal Democrats and their coalition partner have a majority in parliament. Whoever wins the September 29 party vote is likely to become the new prime minister. 

Prosecutors investigated whether Abe, his aide and two executives from his political support group had subsidized the party fees in violation of campaign and election funds laws.

The trip raised questions about continuity and change in Japan’s approach to Southeast Asia after Abe.

Japan's new leader has portrayed the coming shift to green energy as an opportunity rather than a burden.

In building on Japan's complementary interests with Vietnam, Suga has signaled a clear continuity with his precedessor's foreign policy approach.
