| Shinzo lays out vision for 'Beautiful Japan' |
| 2006-09-30 |
 TOKYO: Japan's new prime minister, Shinzo Abe, laid out on Friday his vision of a "Beautiful Country" that can be proud of its traditions and culture while also being respected - and loved - by the world. Abe, 52, who took over this week as Japan's first leader born after Japan's defeat in World War Two, has made it a central part of his agenda to escape a "post-war regime" that conservatives believe deprived Japanese of pride in their history and culture. |
