Japan's PM Fumio Kishida to Visit U.S. on September 21, His Final Trip Before Stepping Down | WPN World People News

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi announced on the 13th that Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will visit the U.S. from September 21 to 23, during which he is expected to attend the Quad leaders' summit and the United Nations General Assembly. This will be Kishida’s final overseas trip before stepping down as Prime Minister. As the leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), Kishida has already announced that he will not seek re-election as party president. This U.S. visit will be his last foreign trip before relinquishing his role as Prime Minister, coinciding with the LDP presidential election scheduled for September 27.

Kishida's itinerary includes a visit to Wilmington, Delaware, the hometown of U.S. President Joe Biden, on September 21 (local time), to attend the Quad leaders' summit, where Kishida, Biden, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet.

Additionally, during his U.S. visit, Kishida is also expected to participate in the "Summit of the Future," which will be held alongside the United Nations General Assembly and will address global issues such as climate change. He is scheduled to deliver a speech at this international conference.
