　岸田文雄首相は、来年３月上旬に米国を訪問する方向で調整に入った。バイデン大統領との会談では、対中国を巡る連携など日米同盟の一層の深化を確認したい考え。米側は「国賓待遇」とする方針で、実現すれば２０１５年の安倍晋三氏以来９年ぶりとなる。

　両首脳は会談で、ウクライナ支援の継続や、経済安全保障分野の協力強化なども確認する見通し。首相は米議会での演説を検討している。（2023/12/26-16:46）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is planning to visit the United States in early March, government sources said Tuesday.
   As the U.S. side plans to treat Kishida as a state guest, Kishida would become the first Japanese prime minister to receive such treatment in nine years.
   U.S. President Joe Biden invited Kishida to visit the United States next spring when they met in November.
   During his planned U.S. visit, Kishida are expected to hold talks with Biden and seek to confirm further deepening of the Japan-U.S. alliance, including cooperation over China.
   The two leaders are also expected to agree to continue support for Ukraine and strengthen cooperation in the field of economic security.
