Japanese PM to express WWII remorse at Asian-African summit
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
Tokyo - QNA
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe plans to express his country's remorse over its aggression during World War II at the Asian-African summit next week in Jakarta, a report says.
Abe will be the first Japanese premier to address the Bandung conference since Koizumi in April 2005.
Japan "has no choice but to touch on 'remorse' when speaking in front of leaders from Asian countries," since this year marked the 70th anniversary of the country's defeat in WWII, Kyodo quoted a government source as saying.
Abe's speech at the April 22-23 summit is likely to be reflected in the statement he will issue in August to mark the 70th anniversary of Japan's defeat in WWII, Kyodo said.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
