VIENTIANE: Japan's Princess Aiko arrived in Laos on Monday (Nov 17) for her first official overseas trip, state media said, a largely symbolic visit to Tokyo's small beneficiary in South-East Asia.
The 23-year-old princess - Emperor Naruhito's only child who is however not in line to the throne due to the Japanese royal family's male-only succession rules - will spend the week in the communist country on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations.
