I send my condolences to former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's family and the Japanese people.
An act of terrorism during an election is a brutal attack against the very foundation of democracy. It is utterly unacceptable, and I strongly condemn such an attack.
No words can truly express my feelings now. @AbeShinzo is not just another Prime Minister of Japan. He is one of the most consequential leader of this era and a true friend of Taiwan. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones, may he rest in peace.
PM Shinzo Abe was a dear friend, true patriot, and a great ally to the American people. Susan and I are so saddened to hear of his death. We stand with the people of Japan in mourning his passing and celebrating his tremendous legacy.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of former Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Mr Abe was a staunch supporter of Taiwan and Ukraine, and spoke against China’s crackdown on Hong Kong and National Security Law.
Our thoughts are with his family and the people of Japan.
Incredibly sad news about Shinzo Abe.
His global leadership through unchartered times will be remembered by many. My thoughts are with his family, friends and the Japanese people.
The UK stands with you at this dark and sad time.
Horrible news of a brutal assassination of former Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe. I am extending my deepest condolences to his family and the people of Japan at this difficult time. This heinous act of violence has no excuse.
