Japan's Emperor Akihito met with visiting Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan at the Imperial Palace on Thursday.
The Emperor appeared in black suit and tie, as he is in mourning for
his cousin, Prince Tomohito of Mikasa, who died Wednesday. Sargsyan
expressed his condolences when he arrived at the palace, the Imperial
Household Agency said.
Sargsyan said he believes Japan will recover from the disaster that
struck in March 2011.
He added that he had witnessed a great deal of patience among Japanese
people when he visited Natori in Miyagi Prefecture on Tuesday. The
city was badly damaged by last year's monster tsunami.
The Emperor said he feels reassured by people living in disaster areas,
as they are working together to rebuild their communities.
