During his official visit to the United States, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made a significant stop in North Carolina, following his time in Washington D.C. The visit highlighted the strengthening economic and cultural ties between Japan and North Carolina. Fujifilm Corp's subsidiary announced an expansion in North Carolina, promising to create 680 jobs, hours before Kishida's arrival, a move praised by Senator Ted Budd. Kishida's itinerary included a tour of a large-scale investment project site by a Japanese company, discussions with Japanese language learners, meetings with Japanese nationals contributing significantly in the state, and talks with Japanese business representatives. Additionally, Kishida and his wife, along with North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, engaged in various activities, including talks with Japanese students at Nagoya University Global Campus, visits to Toyota Motor Corporation's automotive battery manufacturing plant, Honda Aircraft Company's production facility, and the North Carolina Japan Center at NC State University, and a dinner with individuals who have ties with Japan. These visits underscored the deepening partnership between Japan and North Carolina, marked by economic investments and cultural exchanges.
