President Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday congratulated the Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe who won a snap vote to secure support for his “Abenomics” economic reforms.

In a Twitter message President Rajapaksa wished the Japanese PM for success in continuing “‘Abenomics’ reforms to steer Japan to greater heights”. “Congratulations @AbeShinzo on your re-election. Best wishes for continuing ‘Abenomics’ reforms and steering Japan to greater heights – MR,” the President said. Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) retained its House of Representatives majority at the election and will govern with the Buddhist-backed Komeito party with a two-third majority after the parties won 325 seats out of 475.
