Binisita ni Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga si US President Joe Biden noong Biyernes at kabilang sa kanilang mga napag-usapan ay ang laban kontra-COVID-19.
Nagkasundo rin ang dalawang bansa sa seguridad at pagkakaisa upang ayusin ang isyu sa East China Sea, South China Sea at ang nuclear program ng North Korea.
Pahayag pa ni Biden, "We're going to work together to prove that democracies can still compete and win in the 21st century.
"We committed to working together to take on the challenges from China and on issues like the East China Sea, the South China Sea as well as North Korea.”
Saad naman ni Suga, "We agreed to oppose any attempts to change the status quo by force or coercion in the East and South China seas and intimidation of others in the region.
"Freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law are the universal values that link our alliance.”
