COLUMBUS, Ga., July 8, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- "We are incredibly shocked and saddened to learn of
the senseless loss of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the longest serving prime minister
in Japan. Prime Minister Abe will
be long remembered for his dedication to improving Japan's economy and his steadfast commitment
to providing a woman-friendly work environment through his
'womenomics' policy, which sparked a national call to action to
promote more women into leadership positions throughout
Japan, a policy that was warmly
embraced by Aflac Incorporated.
"Mr. Abe was a well-respected leader across the world. Our most
sincere condolences go out to his family, his global circle of
friends, and to all of the people of Japan."
