We welcome our collaboration on AI for Science between Riken and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) founded on the revised project arrangement. People-to-people exchanges are the most effective way to develop the future stewards of the U.S.-Japan relationship. We also recognize the important role civil society has played in strengthening the U.S.-Japan relationship over the past 170 years, including the 38 Japan-America Societies across the United States, the Asia Society, and the 29 America-Japan Societies across Japan. We reaffirm the importance of supporting inclusive growth and sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean.

We are working to uphold a free, fair and rules-based economic order; address non-market policies and practices; build trusted, resilient, and sustainable supply chains; and promote open markets and fair competition under the U.S.-Japan economic “2+2” and the U.S.-Japan Commercial and Industrial Partnership. We will advance our commitment to operationalize data free flow with trust, including with respect to data security. The United States welcomes Japan’s revision of the Three Principles on the Transfer of Defense Equipment and Technology and its Implementation Guidelines, which bolsters cooperation through joint development and production to enhance our deterrence capabilities in the region.

To leverage our respective industrial bases to meet the demand for critical capabilities and maintain readiness over the long term, we will convene a Forum on Defense Industrial Cooperation, Acquisition and Sustainment (DICAS) co-led by the U.S. Department of Defense and Japan’s Ministry of Defense to identify priority areas for partnering U.S. and Japanese industry, including co-development and co-production of missiles and co-sustainment of forward-deployed U.S. Air Force aircraft, including fourth generation fighters, at Japanese commercial facilities, in coordination with relevant ministries.

We welcome the progress in optimizing Alliance force posture in areas including the Southwestern Islands to strengthen U.S.-Japan deterrence and response capabilities, and we confirm the importance of further advancing this initiative. We will also continue to implement efforts to strengthen our Alliance force posture, build high-end base capabilities, and increase preparedness that are necessary to deter and defend against threats. We resolve to deepen bilateral cooperation toward the effective development and employment of Japan’s suite of counterstrike capabilities, including the provision of U.S. materiel and technological support to enhance Japan’s indigenous stand-off programs. The United States expressed its commitment to start the training pipeline and ship modifications for Japan to acquire operational capability of the Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) system. We also reaffirmed our pursuit of a Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI) cooperative development program to counter high-end, regional hypersonic threats.

We are therefore working together, across all domains and at all levels, to build a global partnership that is fit for purpose to address the complex, interconnected challenges of today and tomorrow for the benefit of our two countries and the world. As our Alliance cooperation reaches new heights, we are expanding our engagement to reflect the global nature of our partnership. We continue working together with partner countries to make concrete progress in strengthening the international financial architecture and fostering investment under the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment. We are committed to delivering better, bigger, more effective multilateral development banks including through our planned contributions that would enable more than $30 billion in new World Bank lending and securing ambitious International Development Association and Asian Development Fund replenishments.

Food and Drug Administration and the Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) intend to collaborate and exchange information on oncology drug products to help cancer patients receive earlier access to medications and to discuss future drug development and ways to prevent drug shortages. We welcome PMDA’s future representative office in Washington, D.C., to facilitate this cooperation. Bain's androgynous vocals, heavy use of production, and elusive media presence fueled fan speculation about her gender and identity after her first few singles were released. These first two EPs were rooted in indie pop and synth-pop but included experimentation with genres such as dream pop, folktronica and electropop. She toured with Dirty Hit labelmates the 1975 and Wolf Alice in 2015 and 2016 before headlining tours of her own. The security partnership rolled out this month in Washington is only the latest in a string of new defense configurations that reach across Asia and the Pacific.

When Bain and I speak, Healy has been trending on Twitter for a matter of months, with many criticising him for a February podcast appearance during which he made jokes about “queerbaiting”, laughed at a handful of unsavoury gags made by the podcast’s hosts, and joined in when they began to mock various accents. Fresh off the plane from a visit to Detroit, The Japanese House (real name Amber Bain) is in high spirits as NME meets her on a summer’s afternoon in a north London studio. It’s finally the long-awaited month that her second album ‘In The End It Always Does’ (out now), lands in the world, following her 2019 debut ‘Good At Falling’, which tracked both the highs and pitfalls of a relationship. The key came from “the personal collection of a very high-ranking member of President Donald Trump’s inner circle,” the auction site stated, noting that such keys were “specially made for and presented to foreign dignitaries and other VIPs during the Trump-Pence administration.” And afterward, it seems, as long as they were in stock. From Jan. 20, 2017, until Jan. 20, 2021, Donald Trump was president of the United States. This is a position that includes many perks, offered to the person who was selected by American voters to serve as chief executive.

The United States and Japan also remain committed to advancing trilateral cooperation with Australia to ensure a peaceful and stable region. We reaffirm our steadfast commitment to the Quad and its shared vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific that is stable, prosperous, and inclusive which continues to deliver results for the region. We reiterate the Quad’s unwavering support and respect for regional institutions, including ASEAN, the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF), and the Indian Ocean Rim Association. We also reaffirm our support for ASEAN centrality and unity as well as the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific. Southeast Asian countries are critical partners in the Indo-Pacific and the U.S.-Japan-Philippines trilateral aims to enhance trilateral defense and security cooperation while promoting economic security and resilience.

Closing the night with “Sunshine Baby,” a bittersweet summer anthem, The Japanese House left the crowd feeling like they’d just survived an emotional rollercoaster. Leading us through a myriad of memories and feelings, the music lingered in the air like the remnants of a beautiful dream, and as we stepped back into the brisk Denver night, the warmth of the performance stayed with us, a comforting ember in the dark. Quinnie — the soft-voiced opener — graced the stage with songs featuring sweet vocal flares and beautiful harmonies. Her voice sounded like what you’d think a fairy might sing while dancing through some enchanted forest. She used a headset mic, similar to what boy bands like NSYNC use, which added to her whimsical vibe. She eventually played her most well-known song, “Touch Tank,” which the crowd seemed to know best from TikTok or something, whole-heartedly singing the viral chorus then falling silent during the verses like they’d gotten caught laughing too loud in a library.

At the core of our cooperation is a shared commitment to work with like-minded partners and multilateral institutions to address common challenges and to ensure a world that is free, open, connected, resilient, and secure. These joint efforts are based on our shared fundamental respect for international law, including the protection and promotion of human rights and dignity, the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, and the prohibition on acquisition of territory by force. Our purpose as partners is to uphold and bolster the free and open international order based on the rule of law that has allowed so many nations to develop and prosper, and to ensure our Alliance is equipped to tackle the challenges of the 21st century.

Indeed, Mr. Kishida emphasized in a speech to Congress on April 11 that China presents “the greatest strategic challenge” both to Japan and to the international community. The two leaders also affirm that women in leadership remain their focus and reaffirm our pledge to achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls in all their diversity. We welcome close cooperation on Women, Peace, and Security and Women’s Economic Empowerment initiatives and efforts to promote women and girls’ full, equal, and meaningful participation and leadership in public life. In this regard, we also welcome Japan’s new initiative to expand scholarship for Japanese students through the Japan Student Servicers Organization. We emphasize that our basic positions on Taiwan remain unchanged and reiterate the importance of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait as an indispensable element of global security and prosperity.

"The setting, the architecture, it's all there to convey a sense of feeling," Polyakov says. "The idea of peace and emptiness and quiet beauty were very important in 16th-century Japan. These traditions have carried on for hundreds of years, including today." You can learn all about the house’s initial construction and recent relocation from a small exhibit inside the dirt-floored end of the home that once housed the kitchen. From here, you can peek into the other rooms and walk into one part of the living quarters via a ramp and protective bit of carpeting around back. There’s even a tranquil side garden that you can squeeze into near the home’s formal entrance. The compound is covered with details that offer a glimpse into life there, from irrigation systems to a tokonoma scroll and floral arrangement to a little window that lets you peep at the porcelain sandal that was used to squat over the toilet.

Its military has acquired ever more potent ways to counter U.S. and allied capabilities in the Western Pacific and has behaved aggressively in the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait and elsewhere, alarming its neighbors. Mayors give out keys to their cities to noteworthy individuals as a symbolic gesture, but it seems safe to say that they generally stop doing so once they leave office. Yet here’s Donald Trump, acting as though he’s simply renting out the White House to President Biden and letting Aso know that he’s welcome to stop by and use the bowling alley anyway. From Hollywood celebrities, to billionaires, to key political allies, the guest list was exclusive. The theme was "celebration of spring," a symbol meant to mirror the friendship between the two countries.

It was built as a live-work space for shōya, village leaders who were a liaison between the government and the local farming community. At 3,000 square feet, it’s considerably larger than most other Edo period homes, which were typically closer to 400 square feet. All of that space would allow the shōya to collect taxes, store rice yields and entertain dignitaries. But it was also a private residence, one that might have accommodated as many as four generations at one time.
