US news sites have reported that President Biden plans to invite Prime Minister Suga to the White House as early as next month for a summit meeting.

If realized, it will be the first face-to-face summit meeting after President Biden takes office, but the White House says "no meeting has been decided."

US news site Axios reported on the 7th that President Biden is planning to invite Prime Minister Suga to the White House as early as next month for a summit meeting.



The article states that it will be the first face-to-face meeting with foreign leaders since President Biden took office, but the event may be delayed in the second half of spring depending on the status of the new coronavirus infection.



"President Biden is looking forward to seeing Prime Minister Suga in the future, but no talks have been decided," a White House spokeswoman told NHK.



After taking office, President Biden had telephone talks with Prime Minister Kan and other leaders of each country, as well as online talks with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Lopez Obrador.



However, we have not held a face-to-face summit meeting based on the infection situation of the new coronavirus, and Saki, a spokesman for the White House, will invite foreign leaders to the White House at the meeting last month. Shows the prospect of a few months ahead.
