Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited the 57th Press Photo Exhibition 2016 held in Tokyo.

After viewing the photographs, the Prime Minister said,

“I once again reflected on the fact that there were many notable moments this year. The Ise-Shima Summit feels like it took place a long time ago, but I am reminded that it was in fact held this year. There is still one week left in the year, and I want to continue to do my work thoroughly without diminishing my efforts. Thank you very much.”
