Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi are planning to attend the U.N. General Assembly in New York this month, Japan’s top diplomat said Tuesday.
Hayashi told a news conference that the two want to attend the annual event of the United Nations “if various circumstances allow,” although he stopped short of elaborating on the details, including when they would visit.
Kishida is expected to make a trip to the United States for five days from next Monday and deliver an address at the general debate of the General Assembly session, according to a source close to the matter.
