Fumio Kishida
Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will visit Egypt on Saturday as part of a trip to the Middle East and Africa, Japanese Ambassador to Cairo Oka Hiroshi has told state’s news agency MENA.
The Egyptian delegation, headed by Transport Minister Kamel Al-Wazir, and accompanied by Egypt's Ambassador to Tokyo, Mohamed Abu Bakr, laid wreath of roses during the funeral ceremony of the late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Abe was cremated days after his assassination by a man in his forties while giving a campaign speech in Nara city in western Japan. A private funeral had been held earlier for Abe at the Zojoji temple.
The European Union's top trade official said Saturday that a Japan-EU free trade deal was "almost there."
