JAPAN-CHINA-SKOREA-DIPLOMACY-WWII-YASUKUNI

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (L) walks past Emperor Akihito (C) and Empress Michiko (R) to make a speech during an annual memorial service for war victims in Tokyo on August 15, 2014 as the country marks the 69th anniversary of its surrender in World War II. Two Japanese cabinet ministers visited a controversial war shrine in Tokyo August 15 in a move likely to anger China and South Korea, which see it as a symbol of Japan's militarist past.
