New Delhi: Shinzo Abe, the former Prime Minister of Japan and an infallible friend of India is no more. Abe ‘the politician’ has had his critics and Abe ‘the nationalist’ had a bit more criticism but Japan and the Asian nations might unanimously agree that Abe the ‘grand strategist’ had the most impact on Japan’s security posture and the Indo-Pacific region since the Second World War.

It is no secret that Abe was a clear India ally, throughout his term. To honour him, India even conferred Abe with the second-highest civilian honour, the Padma Vibhushan award, putting him in the leagues of Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa for India.

He will be missed in India. He was respected across India for what he did for India- Japanese friendship.
