According to Australian media reports such as SBS TV, at the beginning of July this year, Australian Prime Minister Albanis was accused of insulting Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in a speech on the program. Meanwhile, on August 10, Australian media revealed the Japanese government's official response to this matter: downplay the treatment. The report said that in a podcast program at the time, Albanis talked about the high-grade cantaloupe that Takaichi Sanae gave him during his visit to Australia in May. The host Nikki Osborne asked Japan how to bring the fruit through Australian customs and asked, “Was she smuggled in?” Albanis answered “I don't know,” and said that Takaichi “brought two cantaloupes” at the time, while imitating the host's gestures on his chest... Albanis' body movements and remarks were interpreted by some as vulgar jokes. Angus Taylor, leader of Australia's opposition Liberal Party, asked Albanis to apologize for this, saying “these remarks are insulting, and the prime minister should personally apologize.” Jane Hume, deputy leader of the Liberal Party, also criticized these remarks as “vulgar” and “inappropriate.” An Albanian spokesperson said that the outside world's interpretation of the Australian Prime Minister's related gestures was “incorrect.” According to news.com.au, a website owned by the Australian News Group, Shingo Yamagami, the former Japanese ambassador to Australia, wrote an article criticizing Albania, saying this was not a political issue, but “a matter of etiquette, diplomatic etiquette, and mutual respect.” He wrote, “I don't think you should make fun of gifts carefully prepared and kindly given by friends, whether in Australia, Japan, or anywhere else.” Yamakami also claims that crown cantaloupe is a precious fruit in Japan and has been carefully cultivated in a special greenhouse.
