Shinzo Abe was assassinated during a campaign speech on Friday. The 67-year-old was Japan's longest-serving prime minister.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe answers a question during his press conference about the coronavirus situation in Japan, at the Prime Minister's office in Tokyo Saturday, March 14, 2020. "I am shocked by the loss of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe," Cook wrote. "He was such an important leader and I was honored to have spent time with him. Our hearts are with his loved ones—and all of our friends in Japan.

Cook met with Abe during a trip to Japan in October 2016. During the meeting, the pair discussed Apple's plans to build a development center in the city of Yokohoma, as well as ways Japanese companies could work with the tech giant to develop new services. Meanwhile, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called the former prime minister's death "terrible news."

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has also weighed in, calling Abe a "great friend" who the group had the honor of hosting several times. "He helped elevate the U.S.-Japan relationship, and promoted our strong business and economic ties. Both our nations saw a growth in jobs and prosperity because of this important work and partnership," the organization said in a statement. "He will be remembered as a great leader who championed multilateralism and defended democracy. He will be greatly missed by all of us. Our thoughts are with his wife and family.
