All papers reported on a meeting held yesterday in Tokyo between Prime Minister Abe and Iraqi PM Abadi, during which the Japanese leader explained the GOJ’s intention to continue to support the reconstruction of the war-torn nation in the Middle East. Abe reportedly told the press afterward that Tokyo will continue to proactively support Iraq reconstruction in order to maintain stability there. Ahead of the summit, the two governments reportedly co-sponsored an international conference on Iraq reconstruction, at which the participants agreed to improve law and order there by establishing a system to eliminate weapons held by civilians through enhanced vocational training and job creation.
