"Forever a Friend of Taiwan": Taiwan Mourns Abe with Message on Taipei 101

Taiwan was shocked by the assassination of Japan's former prime minister Shinzo Abe, who had built much stronger ties between the two countries during his terms in office.

Taipei 101 lit up with a message in memory of Abe this evening:

Remembering Prime Minister Abe
Forever a friend of Taiwan
Thank you Prime Minister Abe
For your support and friendship towards Taiwan

The message closes with "thank you" in Japanese, with Japan and Taiwan's flags side by side.

Taiwan's LTN News posted this photo of the message on their Facebook page, with the caption:

"President Abe, do you see how Taiwan misses you? Please be well in heaven!"
