Japan and the Philippines announced in November that they would commence discussions for a defence alliance that may allow them to deploy soldiers on their respective territorial areas.
After holding discussions in Manila, Marcos and Kishida made the announcement that the negotiations would begin in an effort to counter China’s growing military force.
After the three- means mountain, Biden will maintain a distinct intergovernmental meeting with Marcos, the White House said.
The president may reaffirm the ironic partnership between the United States and the Philippines, according to Jean-Pierre.
On April 10, Kishida will attend the White House for a position visit that has already been scheduled.
Kishida was the first Asian leader to travel to the Philippines since 2017 with the visit.
Japan invaded and held the Philippines hostage during World War II, but relations between the two nations have since improved as a result of commerce, expense, and more lately, China’s confidence in the area.
The Philippines-Japan mountain resembles the three-way conference that Biden and the Japanese prime minister and president of South Korea held at his Camp David political retreat in August.
Biden had made a goal of working with China and North Korea, two nearby US friends, to end decades of hostilities.
In a bid to stop the two nations from becoming at odds with one another, Biden held a monument summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in California in November.
However, Washington and Beijing continue to have strained relationships despite taking steps to restore military-to-military connections.
