Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will make his own decision on visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said, after an aide to the premier indicated he may go before the end of the year.
“As I have said many times, the prime minister feels deep regret that he was not able to pay his respects during his first term in office,” Suga told reporters in Tokyo today. “In any case, the prime minister will make the decision himself from a broad perspective” on whether to visit, he said.
