Dr M goes to Japan to rekindle old ties - Nation
On Tuesday, Dr Mahathir, 93, will be meeting Shintaro’s son, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, 63, during a working visit to Tokyo. Dr Mahathir, said Dr Rebecca, had gone for the Nikkei-Shimbun conference every year, adding that the Prime Minister was “personally very close to them (Japan)”. Dr Mahathir will be having a packed schedule from the moment he touches down at Haneda Airport today. Immediately following that, Dr Mahathir will join a dialogue session organised by the Japan-Malaysian Parliamentarians’ Friendship League. The Japanese Prime Minister that Dr Mahathir met in 1983 – Yasuhiro Nakasone – is still around, having celebrated his 100th birthday on May 27.
