The Japanese minister is visiting a controversial shrine to determine the end of World War II World Wars News star-news.press/wp

Japan has represented 80 years since Emperor Hirohito announced his country’s surrender to the allied forces.

The Japanese Minister of Ministers have been among the thousands of people who were visiting a controversial memorial in Tokyo, where Japan has represented 80 years since the end of World War II.

On Friday, the Minister of Agriculture, Cengero Koizumi, prompted his respect at the Yasoconi shrine, a symbol of the Japanese military.

Dozens of national and local politicians from the right -wing Sansiaito party joined him, according to local media.

The Shinto shrine was built in the nineteenth century to honor the Japanese war dead, but was famous for dedicating 14 Japanese war criminals “A. Category” and 1,000 other people, and the Allied Court was condemned after the Second World War.

The Yasukoni shrine is a political rod in East Asia, where the memories of atrocities in wartime in Japan are not forgotten, but senior Japanese leaders have continued to visit over the years.

But the mausoleum was just one location as the Japanese gathered on Friday to celebrate 80 years since Emperor Hirohito announced the surrender of Japan on August 15, 1945, the radio broadcast.

Tokyo officially surrendered a few weeks later on September 2, 1945.

The Japanese media reported that more than 4000 people attended the National Memorial Party for the Dead War in Tokyo, including Japanese Prime Minister Shigro Ishiba.

Ishiba spoke at the celebration of the lessons that Japan carried from the war.

“We must never repeat the destruction of the war. We will never make mistakes in choosing the path that must be taken,” said Ishiba, according to Kyodo News.

Ishia also spoke about Japan’s “remorse” about the war, which represents the first time that the Japanese Prime Minister used the term more than a decade ago in a memorial to the war.

Japan adopted a porous constitution after World War II, but wounds are still a list of decades of Japanese colonial rule in parts of Asia that lasted from 1895 to 1945.

Kyodo said that the Prime Minister did not directly mention the aggression of Japan in the time of the wartime and the suffering it caused, a precedent by former Japanese leaders.

The Japanese Emperor Naruho also attended the event, saying that he was “overcome with a deep passion” in the transformation of Japan since the end of World War II.

He said, according to the Japanese media: “It is the honest of Al -Sadiq that we will continue to transfer the stories of the difficulties I endured and after the war and we continue to unite the soul to search for peace and happiness of people in the future.”

Japan last week celebrated 80 years since the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing more than 200,000 people.
