Japan's Emperor Naruhito says he hopes his upcoming visit to Indonesia will help develop friendly relations between the two countries.
The Emperor and Empress Masako are expected to leave for the Southeast Asian nation on Saturday. It will be their first goodwill trip abroad since the Emperor ascended the throne in 2019.
Asked at a news conference on Thursday about the bilateral relations in the past when Japan ruled over Indonesia, the Emperor noted that there were difficult times.
He said Japan has contributed to peace and prosperity of the international community with Indonesia and other Asian nations since the end of the war.
The Emperor also said the visit will help further deepen friendship and goodwill between the two countries, building on their history of bilateral exchange.
He added that he expected the Empress to accompany him throughout his travel in Indonesia, but later decided to visit some places alone. He said he made the decision after conducting a comprehensive review of planned events.
He added that he hopes the Empress, who will be making her first official visit to Southeast Asia, will maintain her condition so that she can carry out her duties safely.
The Imperial couple's seven-day trip will take place from June 17 to 23.
