During an official state visit to Washington D.C., Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and U.S. President Joe Biden discussed strengthening defense and economic ties between their nations amid concerns over China's assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific region. The visit, highlighted by a series of meetings and a state dinner attended by prominent figures from politics, business, and entertainment, including Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, and Robert De Niro, aimed to further solidify the Japan-U.S. alliance. Kishida's trip included a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, meetings with U.S. business leaders, and participation in a cherry tree planting ceremony, symbolizing the deep-rooted friendship between the two countries. The leaders are expected to announce 70 new agreements to enhance defense and intelligence cooperation, with a focus on ensuring peace and security in the region.
