His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah sent two cables of condolences to Emperor of friendly Japan Naruhito and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida over the murder of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

The ex-premier succumbed to his injury at hospital after being shot at an election campaign event in Nara city, west Japan, earlier Friday. In his cables, His Highness the Crown Prince strongly denounced the abhorrent crime which runs counter to all religious and moral values.

Recalling Abe’s great contributions to the development of the bilateral ties, he expressed sympathy with the family of the former prime minister and the people of Japan.
