Japan Emperor honours WWII dead in Mongolia state visit ...Middle East

The imperial couple laid flowers at a Tokyo-funded monument in Dambadarjaa, near Ulaanbaatar, where approximately 1,700 Japanese prisoners died constructing infrastructure after being transferred by Soviet forces. Emperor Naruhito observed a minute’s silence at the former cemetery site, stating the visit aimed to “invigorate exchanges further, particularly among the younger generation”.

The visit occurs as regional tensions persist over Japan’s wartime actions, with China planning September commemorations of its victory over Japanese forces. The imperial couple previously visited Pacific war sites including Hiroshima and Okinawa this year. Their Mongolia itinerary includes Friday’s Naadam festival opening before departing Sunday. - AFP
