Foreign policy has come into focus on Capitol Hill this week. Earlier today, seven U.S. Senators made plans to meet with Ukrainian officials later this week. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden announced that he would meet with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. During their virtual meetup, the two will discuss climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic and much more.
“President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. will meet virtually with Prime Minister Kishida Fumio of Japan on Friday, January 21 to further deepen ties between our governments, economies, and our people. The meeting will highlight the strength of the U.S.-Japan Alliance, which is the cornerstone of peace, security, and stability in the Indo-Pacific and around the world,” a statement from the White House reads.
“President Biden looks forward to working with Prime Minister Kishida to advance our shared vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific, and to expand our close cooperation on critical issues like combatting COVID-19, addressing the climate crisis, and partnering on new and emerging technologies, including through the Quad.”
