Title:United Kingdom: The Emperor And Empress Of Japan Enjoy A Lunch Hosted By British Prime Minister Tony Blair
Date:28th May 1998
Summary:Tony Blair welcomed the Emperor Akihito of Japan and his wife to his official residence - 10, Downing Street - on May 28. The Japanese royal couple's visit to the United Kingdom has been plagued by protests from former British prisoners of war demanding compensation for their treatment under the Japanese. Chanting "go home" and "compensation overdue", a crowd of about 200 people turned their backs as Akihito and his wife entered Blair's offices.
