Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, and his two predecessors Malcolm Turnbull and Tony Abbott, all praised Abe as a major figure in international affairs and a close friend of Australia. "There probably wasn't another leader who had been so close to all our recent PMs, and they saw the world in a very similar way," the source said.Likely contenders to take over include Abe’s close aide Fumio Kishida, foreign minister Toshimitsu Motegi and Shigeru Ishiba, a former defence minister, while it has been reported that current deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso will not run for the leadership.Richard McGregor, a senior fellow at the Lowy Institute, said Australia didn't have poor relations with any of the contenders, "but we don’t have the same level of political intimacy that we had with Abe".He said Australian relations with Japan had never been closer and "Abe has been a major part of that".

Australia is eagerly waiting to see who takes over as Japanese prime minister, with the Morrison government privately hoping Shinzo Abe's successor will not soften the country's stance on key security alliances and lean more towards China.Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, and his two predecessors Malcolm Turnbull and Tony Abbott, all praised Abe as a major figure in international affairs and a close friend of Australia.Abe drove a number of key foreign policy initiatives in recent years, including reviving the "Quad" security alliance between Australia, Japan, India and the United States. The Japanese Prime Minister led the charge to conceive of the region as the "Indo-Pacific", rather than the "Asia-Pacific" - part of a strategy of building a broader set of alliances in the region to accommodate China, but counterbalance its growing assertiveness in the region.Abe and Turnbull also led the charge to revive the landmark Trans-Pacific Partnership after US President Donald Trump pulled out of the trade deal.A senior figure in the Morrison government said it was not concerned about the next Japanese prime minister immediately junking the country's foreign policies, but Abe had provided a level of stability and they hoped that would continue.
