G. Stoltenberg: The attack against Shinzo Abe is ‘heinous’

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said today he was “deeply shocked” by the “heinous” attack on former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and assured that the alliance, of which Tokyo is a close ally, “stands by” the Japanese and their government.

“Deeply shocked by the heinous attack against Shinzo Abe as he addressed voters. My thoughts go out to him and his family. NATO stands with the people of our close partner Japan and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida,” Stoltenberg wrote on Twitter.
