Queen Elizabeth II said Friday she was “deeply saddened” at the assassination of Japan’s former prime minister Shinzo Abe, in a message of condolence sent to Emperor Naruhito.

“I have fond memories of meeting Mr Abe and his wife during their visit to the United Kingdom in 2016. His love for Japan, and his desire to forge ever-closer bonds with the United Kingdom, were clear,” she wrote.
