Japan is pitching Tokyo as an "attractive" base for United Nations operations as the United States steps back from multilateral leadership, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike said after meeting U.N. Secretary‑General António Guterres in New York last week.
What Happened: Koike told reporters the capital is ready to "provide various types of support" to the U.N. and argued that life in Tokyo is advantageous in terms of safety and security, and other perks that come with a weak yen. She added that the currency's slide makes the city more affordable for international staff, according to a report by the South China Morning Post.
