Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has expressed "profound grief" over his country's actions in World War Two.
In a statement marking 70 years since Japan's WW2 surrender, he upheld apologies and expressions of remorse made by past governments, but did not issue a new formal apology of his own.
He added that future generations should not "be predestined to apologise".
