TOKYO: President Joe Biden met Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo ahead of the unveiling of a multinational trade initiative on Monday as part of his push to reinvigorate US strategic power across Asia.Fresh from a three-day visit to another key US ally, South Korea, Biden praised Tokyo as a 'key global leader' for joining US-led pressure on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
The situation will be on the agenda for the Biden-Kishida talks, the White House said, as well as their 'shared vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific' — US diplomatic code for maintaining the status quo with a rising China.The pair are expected to make a statement on the need for 'stability' in the Taiwan Strait, as concern rises about Chinese pressure on the island.
