Dr M goes to Japan to rekindle old ties


Meeting of minds: Dr Mahathir and Abe are expected to touch on bilateral issues and not much on the multilateral and regional issues, according to diplomatic sources.

WHEN Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad made his first official visit to Tokyo in January 1983 soon after launching his Look East Policy, among the delegation who greeted him then was Japan’s Foreign Minister Shin­taro Abe.

On Tuesday, Dr Mahathir, 93, will be meeting Shintaro’s son, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, 63, du­­ring a working visit to Tokyo.
