STORY: Japan will honor on Tuesday its assassinated former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a polarising figure who dominated modern-day politics as its longest-serving leader.

"He was very well respected and as an international states person it is very clear that the quad leaders' dialogue would not have occurred without his leadership," Albanese told Kishida.

About 4,300 are expected to attend the ceremony and at least 48 current or former government figures, including U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and Albanese.
