Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made an offering to a controversial war shrine only weeks after becoming leader of the government, a move that angered both China and South Korea.
Kishida donated religious ornaments to mark the Yasukuni Shrine’s autumn festival, the Associated Press reported. Yoshihide Suga, whose resignation paved the way for Kishida to become prime minister on Oct. 4, visited the shrine on Sunday, the AP said.
