US and Japan agree to strengthen defence ties amid tensions with China
#1

The two leaders even agreed that a Japanese astronaut will be the first non-American to walk on the Moon, as they sought to take the alliance to new heights.

“This is the most significant upgrade in our alliance since it was first established,” Biden, 81, told a press conference with Kishida in the White House Rose Garden.

In his toast Kishida quoted lines from the cult 1960s US television show Star Trek, whose title sequence referred to space as the "final frontier" and described a mission to "boldly go where no man has gone before".

Staunchly pacifist for decades, Japan has in recent years made “some of the most significant, momentous changes” since World War II, US ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel said ahead of the state visit.
