Bangladesh is observing a one-day state mourning today for former Japanese prime minister and the country's true friend Shinzo Abe.
The Cabinet Division issued a notification in this regard yesterday evening.

Special prayers will be offered today for the eternal peace of the departed soul.
Abe, 67, died yesterday after being shot while delivering a campaign speech in southern Japan.
