Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday congratulated Japan’s newly-elected Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who succeeded Shinzo Abe after the latter had decided to step down due to health reasons.
In a tweet, the premier congratulated his Japanese counterpart and said: “I look forward to working with him for further strengthening Pakistan-Japan friendship and our increasing cooperation.”
On Wednesday, Japan’s parliament had elected Yoshihide Suga as the country’s new prime minister with a massive support. Suga, 71, won an easy victory, taking 314 votes of 462 valid ballots cast in the lower house of parliament, where his ruling Liberal Democratic Party holds a commanding majority with its coalition partner.
The former chief cabinet secretary is expected to stick closely to policies championed by Abe during his record-breaking tenure.
Earlier, PM Imran, in a tweet, had expressed his best wishes for the outgoing Japanese premier’s good health and future endeavours after he announced to quit over health issues.
