chrysanthemum throne: Ahead of his visit to Malaysia beginning later this week, he said at a rare news conference at his palace that he looks forward to learning from the country's experience in using its ethnic, religious and cultural diversity as a source for development, according to Brandon Sun. Diversity and tolerance are the words that come to my mind in describing my image of Malaysia today, he said. Naruhito, the oldest son of Emperor Akihito, is first in line to the Chrysanthemum throne. The country has generated energy and unity as a nation while the people of Malay, Chinese and Indian roots have come to respect each other's differences and coexisted, he said. Malaysia's contribution to regional co-operation, especially through the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, is also an important asset for the rest of Asia and the world, he said. I would like to observe and hear from the people of Malaysia from the viewpoint that Malaysia's example can be a model for the international society, which is still faced with conflicts for various reasons, in terms of how a world can be, the soft-spoken Naruhito said.
