【Very important!】 Attending Abe's funeral, the DPP authorities plan to send You Xikun Su Jiaquan's "double president" to Japan.
Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has said he would consider sending him off at a state funeral.
The DPP authorities in Taiwan Province also attach great importance to the funeral, and people involved in foreign affairs on the island said yesterday that in view of Abe's relations with Taiwan and Japan, su Jiaquan, president of the "Taiwan-Japan Relations Association," and You Xikun, the "president of the Legislative Yuan," were present at the funeral at the most reasonable arrangement.
Abe will hold a family festival on July 12, with only close relatives and friends attending, and the festival will be held in August, and it is expected that domestic and foreign dignitaries will attend.
When Pope Paul II died in 2005, Chen Shui-bian, the leader at the time, personally went to the Vatican to attend; When Singapore's former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew passed away in 2015, Ma Ying-jeou went to his family memorial in a low-key manner, about three hours.
The foreign-related person declared that Abe has deep feelings with Taiwan, and the Japanese government is becoming more and more "friendly with Taiwan," but this September is the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, and Japan has always been restricted by the "one China" framework.
Foreign-related personages pointed out that su jiaquan, president of the Taiwan-Japan Association in charge of japan affairs, attended Abe's funeral as the most basic requirement, and Abe was still a member of the National Assembly when he died, so it was also a reasonable arrangement to increase the attendance of "legislative president" You Xikun.
"Presidential Office" spokesman Zhang Weihan said that Taiwan's "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" will learn about follow-up matters from the Japanese side and closely coordinate with the Japanese side for appropriate planning. You Xikun was asked yesterday whether he would organize cross-party "legislators" to go to Japan to offer condolences, and he said that he respected Tsai Ing-wen's authority and believed that there would be some arrangements.
