Tokyo, Oct. 22 (Jiji Press)–The Japanese government said Wednesday that U.S. President Donald Trump will visit Japan for three days from Monday.

Trump is set to hold his first summit with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who took office on Tuesday, and to meet with Japanese Emperor Naruhito.

Takaichi, who regards the Japan-U.S. alliance as “the cornerstone of Japan’s foreign and security policies,” is expected to signal her intention to strengthen Japan’s defense capabilities, aiming to build a relationship of trust with the U.S. president as quickly as possible.

Referring to Trump’s upcoming visit to Japan, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said at a press conference he hopes that the summit “will hopefully be an opportunity for the two leaders to build a relationship of trust and forge cooperative ties in order to further strengthen the Japan-U.S. alliance and to promote a free and open Indo-Pacific.”

The summit is expected to take place on Tuesday, according to a Japanese government source.
