China, regional security on agenda as Biden hosts Japan's Suga - US Official

Washington, Apr 16 (Sputnik) President Joe Biden will be hosting his first in-person bilateral meeting with a foreign leader during the visit of Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide on Friday to discuss a range of regional security concerns in the western Pacific that include China and North Korea, a senior Biden administration official said during a telephone briefing.
"I think you will see in the deliverables the things that we have been focusing on is a broader, deeper set of engagements across technology policy, health-related matters, climate, and also regional security," the official said on Thursday. "We will also talk about China and the cross-trade circumstances and I think the United States and Japan seek to play a steady, careful role to underscore our mutual commitment in the maintenance of peace and stability and to take steps to calm tensions and to discourage provocations."
Discussions on China will include Hong Kong and Xinjiang, however, because the United States and Japan have different perspectives on issues in the region, the Biden administration does not expect Japan to commit to every US initiative, official said.
