TOKYO: Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is considering a visit to Iran as early as mid-June, NHK national television said on Friday , the first such trip in four decades, as global concern grows about rising tension between Iran and the United States.
Abe is likely to discuss his plans with US President Donald Trump when the latter visits Japan from Saturday and a final decision may rest on the results of that, NHK said. Asked if it would figure in discussions with Trump, he said only that the talks would be"wide-ranging". He declined to comment directly on what Japan might be able to do, in the context of its friendly ties with both nations."Our country has traditionally had friendly relations with Iran," he said, adding that Japan hoped to be able to contribute to peace and stability in the region.
