WASHINGTON -- Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's long-awaited visit to the United States was an opportunity to show the world the close relationship he enjoys with U.S. President Joe Biden.
"The president met me at the door and gave us time to talk alone. The treatment I received was very generous and cordial," Kishida told reporters after the summit talks.
In the meeting, Kishida secured Biden's cooperation for the success of the Group of Seven summit meeting to be held in Hiroshima in May.
