Opposition win reflects Japan`s desire for change: Singapore
Singapore (ANTARA News/AFP) - Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday congratulated the leader of Japan`s victorious opposition party, saying its landslide election win reflected the Japanese people`s desire for change.
"Please accept my warmest congratulations on the Democratic Party of Japan`s historic victory in the Lower House elections," Lee said in a letter to DPJ leader Yukio Hatoyama.
"It is a clear reflection of the Japanese people`s desire for change, their confidence in your leadership and support for the party`s vision." Lee said he looked forward to welcoming Hatoyama during an Asia Pacific leaders` summit to be held in Singapore in November.
Hatoyama`s centre-left DPJ won 308 seats in the 480-member lower house of parliament in Sunday`s election, ending 50 years of almost unbroken rule by the Liberal Democratic Party.
