President Biden and first lady Jill Biden welcomed Japan’s prime minister, Fumio Kishida, to the White House on Wednesday for a combined official visit and state dinner to celebrate the alliance between the two countries.
“This visit also reflects the upward trajectory of the U.S.-Japan Alliance as it evolves into a global partnership that promotes a shared vision of progress and prosperity for the future. The two leaders’ ambitious efforts span the depth and breadth of the Alliance to include cooperation on defense and security; space; advanced technology and economic cooperation; diplomacy and development; and people-to-people ties,” the administration said in its briefing fact sheet.
