Kishida entered America

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida arrived in Washington in the first visit of a Japanese official to America after 9 years and emphasized the growing importance of the alliance between the two countries.

According to Japan’s Kyodo news agency, citing Japanese officials, Kishida is scheduled to hold a meeting with US President Joe Biden in Washington on Wednesday, and the next day he will address a joint session of Congress.

In this trip, Kishida will emphasize the importance of cooperation between the two countries in various fields, from security and the latest technologies to strengthening the supply chain. He said that his official visit to America will help to strengthen the bilateral alliance.

Kishida will be the first Japanese Prime Minister to address the US Congress since the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in April 2015. A Japanese official revealed that the theme of Kishida’s speech to Congress on Thursday is likely to be “future-oriented” and is believed to emphasize that Japan-US cooperation is crucial to maintaining a free international order.

Since Kishida represents a constituency in Hiroshima, the city destroyed by the US atomic bomb in August 1945, it is believed that in his speech before the US Legislative Council, he expressed his vision of a world free of weapons. Nuclear will pay.
