We are deeply saddened by the assassination of former Prime Minister Abe. As Japan’s longest-serving Prime Minister, he was a tireless advocate for Japan and a trusted friend of the United States.

Read the full statement from Caucus Co-Chairs Joaquin Castro & Rep. Adrian Smith:

I am horrified and saddened by the assassination of Prime Minister Abe.

I had the pleasure to meet with him three times, including during my 2015 trip to Japan. He was a friend to the U.S. and a strong leader who worked tirelessly for his people. America mourns with Japan today.

Praying for Prime Minister Abe as we learn more about today’s attack.

I worked closely with his government through the U.S.-Japan Caucus, and I saw how his strong and capable leadership moved the country and our alliance forward.

Hoping to hear good news on his condition soon.

Thank you U.S.-Japan Caucus Co-chairs Joaquin Castro & Rep. Adrian Smith, Ami Bera, M.D., & Congressional leaders for continuing to support strengthening the Quad. Japan looks forward to hosting the next Quad Summit to advance this partnership. -Ambassador Tomita
