At AJC Virtual Global Forum 2021, attendees heard an address by H.E. Suga Yoshihide, Prime Minister of Japan, about Japan's close ties to AJC and the American Jewish community.
Abe, who met with AJC delegations six times in Tokyo, and addressed the 2015 AJC Global Forum, also met with other Jewish organizations and leaders while in office. He went above and beyond previous Japanese prime ministers in his dedicated outreach.
