Statement by Ambassador Kennedy

January 25, 2015

On behalf of the American people, I extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family of Haruna Yukawa.  We pray for the safe release of Kenji Goto, and we are keeping the Japanese people in our thoughts during this difficult time. There are no closer friends than the U.S. and Japan, and we will continue to work together to uphold the values we share.

Caroline Kennedy
