Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida sent his sympathies on the passing of former Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario, who he considers a “good friend,” Japanese Ambassador to Manila Kazuhiko Koshikawa said on Thursday, April 20.The envoy took to Twitter to send the Prime Minister’s condolences to President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. over the death of a former Cabinet member.
“PM Kishida has been a good friend of Secretary Del Rosario since he was Foreign Minister,” Koshikawa added. He served under former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III as his top diplomat. He was responsible for bringing the Philippine case to the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague and emerging with a favorable ruling. The ruling struck down China's nine dash line theory that claims large areas in the South China Sea that include the expanded economic zone of the Philippines and other ASEAN countries.
