National flag at half-mast as India mourns assassination of Japan’s Shinzo Abe

Live Mint  

As India observes one-day mourning as a mark of respect to the former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe who was assassinated yesterday on July 8, the national flag at Red Fort, Rashtrapati Bhavan and Parliament fly at half-mast, news agency ANI reported. As a first time prime minister for a little over a year beginning 2006, Shinzo Abe shared a vision for India-Japan ties largely based on greater "confluence" of the two seas, the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Interestingly, Shinzo Abe who was the grandson of former prime minister Nobusuke Kishi, also played a pivotal role in shaping the broad contours of the Quad or Quadrilateral coalition comprising India, Japan, Australia and the US. Shinzo Abe worked for a closer strategic partnership between India and Japan and had said that the close ties between the two countries could prove to be a gamechanger for Asia as it could bring prosperity to the countries of the region.
