PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: 心の中で永遠に Shinzo Abe, the Great Leader of Japan, will be recognized for his enormous leadership achievements in Japan as well as his contributions to world peace and international diplomacy. Toyohiro Akiyama provides a superb study of Shinzo's life, the recent event of his murder, as well as the reason behind this horrific deed that took the life of Japan's Former Prime Minister, in this intriguing book. Abe led Japan's quest to host the 2020 Olympics and worked to strengthen relations between Tokyo and the United States and its allies in the Indo-Pacific region in an effort to improve the country's standing internationally. He stated that China's military modernisation and North Korea's nuclear development put Japan in a perilous world and increased the risk in its own area. He advocated for Taiwan's inclusion in international organizations and maintained a tough stance against China. Taiwan is an island claimed by Beijing. Abe was referred to as "not just a good friend but Taiwan's unwavering ally" by Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen on Friday. Abe's 2013 decision to visit a contentious shrine honoring the Japanese war dead, becoming the first prime leader to do so since 2006, worsened relations between Beijing and Tokyo. The location is regarded as a monument to the atrocities done by the Japanese during World War II in both China and South Korea. Abe stressed the ties between the United States and Japan, and he was the first head of state to meet with Donald Trump after he was elected president in November 2016. Late on Thursday, the former president referred to Abe as "a very outstanding man and leader" in a post on his Truth Social website. He was a genuine friend of mine and, more significantly, of America, added Trump. "The beautiful people of Japan, who loved and appreciated him so much, have been dealt a devastating blow," When Trump pulled the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a planned trade pact with 11 other Pacific countries, he threw Abe a curveball. Japan took the initiative in drafting a replacement deal without the United States under Abe's direction. In order to further American involvement in the Indo-Pacific area, Abe was also a leading factor for the revival of the Quad, an informal security alliance made up of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States. One of the finest eye openers for the circumstances surrounding Shinzo's life and death is this book. 心の中で永遠に (c)️ Toyohiro Akiyama
