Comptroller of the Royal Household for Istana Negara Datuk Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin said His Majesty addressed the speech to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at a meeting held at the Akasaka State Guesthouse here yesterday, after the enthronement ceremony was concluded.
“Abe thanked His Majesty and promised to convey the message to the team and hopes it will ignite their desire to perform better at the upcoming tournament,” he told reporters here today. Emperor Naruhito also made an official visit to Malaysia in April 2017 when he was Crown Prince of Japan, in addition to a national visit by his father, Emperor Akihito in June 2006.
Emperor Naruhito, 59, proclaimed his enthronement on May 1, marking the start of a new era of ‘Reiwa’ which meant harmony and order to replace his father, Emperor Akihito, 85, who gave up the throne and ended the ‘Heisie’ era by achieving peace under his rule. In addition to the enthronement ceremony on Tuesday afternoon, the Queen attended a Royal Banquet organised by Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako on Tuesday evening and a Royal Hi-Tea and a dinner hosted by Abe tonight, in honour of the dignitaries who attended the country’s historic ceremony.
