“#Biden to host Japanese PM for first in-person visit<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

President Biden will host Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga at the White House Friday for his first in-person summit with a world leader since taking office, as the two nations aim to discourage recent \u201cprovocations\u201d by China.<\/p>\n

Japan, one of the strongest US allies in the Indo-Pacific, snagged the highly coveted first White House visit to send Beijing the message that the two would put up a united front in combating it\u2019s aggression, a senior administration official told reporters Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea of the visit is to underscore what we would really describe as almost an axiom or a maxim for the US role in the region: The United States can only be effective in Asia when the US-Japan relationship is strong and Japan is steady and stable,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognize some of the challenges that both our countries are facing,\u201d they continued. \u201cAnd I think we\u2019re looking to this meeting to take steps that \u2014 to buttress both leaders and also the partnership as we go forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The official said they expect Biden and Suga to release a joint statement at the end of the summit highlighting their aligned priorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do want to underscore that neither country is seeking to raise tensions or to provoke China.\u00a0But at the same time, we\u2019re trying to send a clear signal that some of the steps that China is taking\u2026is antithetical to the mission of maintaining peace and stability,\u201d the Biden official cautioned. \u201cAnd I think we\u2019ll want to underscore that as we go forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

China has faced a wave of international scrutiny over the past few years relating to its activities dismantling democracy in Hong Kong and its refusal to accept responsibility for negligence and a lack of transparency at the onset of the coronavirus outbreak. But it\u2019s not let global tensions stop the\u00a0mass internment of Uighurs in Xinjiang province or rising aggressions toward Taiwan, whose leader expects an invasion within the decade. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think the United States and Japan seek to play a steady, careful role to underscore our mutual commitment in the maintenance of peace and stability, and to take steps to calm tensions and to discourage provocations,\u201d the Biden official said. <\/p>\n

In addition to China, Biden and Suga will also likely discuss this summer\u2019s Toyko Olympics.<\/p>\n

Asked about his intentions for the trip<\/a> while speaking to reporters Thursday before heading to the airport, Suga explained that he hoped \u201cto develop a relationship of trust with President Biden and further strengthen the Japan-US alliance bound by the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on to say that he and the US president would \u201ccompare and adjust our policies, and we will demonstrate to the rest of the world the leadership of Japan and the United States toward achieving a free and open Indo-Pacific region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suga will kick off the summit Friday at 11 a.m. with a bilateral meeting at the Naval Observatory with Vice President Harris, who resides in and works at the complex. <\/p>\n

Afterwards, he will head to the White House, where he is scheduled at 1:30 p.m. EST to spend an hour with the commander in chief in the Oval Office before both leaders will be joined by their respective teams for an expanded meeting.<\/p>\n

The expanded gathering is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

The two leaders will hold a news<\/a> conference from the Rose Garden later in the afternoon at 4:15 p.m.<\/p>\n

The visit will not include a state dinner, as is routine during White House visits from foreign leaders.<\/p>\n

The administration will avoid the tradition over coronavirus concerns, as well as the issue in this case that Suga is not technically the head of state as is required for such a dinner.<\/p>\n

Emporor Naruhito technically holds that title.<\/p>\n
