CPPCC National Committee vice chairman to attend Abe's funeral

Wan Gang, vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, will attend former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's state funeral on behalf of the Chinese government, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on Friday.

Abe died in July after being shot by a gunman during a speech in the city of Nara in western Japan.
