Japanese Princess Kako expressed hope for a lasting friendship between her country and Austria in a speech delivered in Vienna on Tuesday.
   "I hope from the bottom of my heart that the friendly relations between the two countries that have been established by many people will last everlastingly," the princess said.
   She made the comments at a reception held at the official residence of the Japanese ambassador to Austria to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral diplomatic ties.
