Abe: I got message across to the world

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says he was able to convey to the world his resolve to make Japan a proactive contributor to peace, playing a more active role in ensuring stability and prosperity.

Abe spoke to reporters in New York after he delivered an address before the UN General Assembly on Thursday.
