Opening 2020, the Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, vowed on Wednesday to reform and revamp everything in Japan, from the pacifist, post-war Constitution to successfully hold the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.
Abe’s visit to the Middle East is to help the region regain its stability as the Middle East is an important supplier of 90 percent of crude oil for resource-scarce Japan.
On Wednesday, hosting the trilateral summit in Chengdu, China approached Japan and South Korea (S. Korea) for more trade deals and offered infrastructure supports.
