Tokyo, July 2 (Jiji Press)--Emperor Naruhito said Wednesday that, during his upcoming visit to Mongolia, he will mourn Japanese people who were detained by the former Soviet Union after World War II and died in Mongolia.

"I want to pay tribute to those who died far from their homeland and think about their hardships," the Emperor said at a news conference before departing with Empress Masako for Mongolia on Sunday.

Glad the Emperor places importance on remembering people who died out of sight after the war's official end and are too easily forgotten.
