The U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee said Tuesday that it has asked House Speaker Mike Johnson to invite Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to address a joint session of Congress.
   In its request letter, the committee pointed out that the invitation to Kishida "would underscore the importance of the U.S.-Japan alliance as the cornerstone of peace, security, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific."
   The letter also said, "In response to the evolving security landscape in the Indo-Pacific, Prime Minister Kishida has taken transformative action to bolster Japan's defense capabilities and modernize our alliance."
   Kishida is scheduled to visit Washington as a state guest and meet with President Joe Biden on April 10.
