Cherry Blossom Diplomacy: Biden, Kishida and Celebrities Celebrate Renewed Partnership Between US and Japan

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden recently hosted a state dinner for Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in the East Room of the White House. The event showcased cherry blossom-themed decor and was more than just a glamorous affair. The two leaders used the occasion to reaffirm military and economic partnerships between the US and Japan and announced new technology initiatives in areas such as cybersecurity, sustainability, and artificial intelligence.

During the state dinner, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Robert De Niro, and other high-profile guests were present. Among them was Hillary Clinton, who attended wearing a pink caftan resembling a Japanese kimono alongside her husband, former President Bill Clinton. She shared a photo from the event on Instagram, expressing excitement about the cherry blossom-themed evening.

In his speech, Prime Minister Kishida toasted President Biden with a quote from “Star Trek,” symbolizing hope for the future of US-Japan relations. In response, Biden acknowledged the challenging history between the two countries but emphasized a commitment to building on that history to create an even stronger diplomatic bond between Japan and America today.
