Japan and Italy are strengthening their cooperation in security and defense, including joint next-generation fighter jet development with Britain. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, as the G7 president in 2024, discussed security issues with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. The leaders agreed to work together for the success of the Group of Seven summit in June. There is also a call for Japanese Prime Minister Kishida to address Congress during his visit as a demonstration of commitment to the Alliance and a Free & Open Indo-Pacific.
Inviting @JPN_PMO @kishida230 to address Congress during his visit would be a timely expression of our unwavering commitment to our Alliance & to a Free & Open Indo-Pacific. @maziehirono & I led our colleagues in requesting @SpeakerJohnson invite Kishida to give a Joint Address. https://t.co/0ErP4xbEJX
