Strengthening the Indo-Pacific region, a concept first articulated by former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, was at the top of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with Japan’s current Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo, where Mr. Modi attended Mr. Abe’s state funeral.
The funeral, attended by about 4,300 people including several heads of state and government, was held in the Nippon Budokan arena, where Mr. Kishida and his predecessor Yoshihide Suga offered emotional tributes to their former leader who was assassinated in July.
