Suga to join Biden in leading efforts to tackle climate change
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said Sunday he will closely cooperate with U.S. President Joe Biden in leading global efforts to tackle climate change.
The two leaders are scheduled to meet in Washington on April 16, while the White House said last month that Biden invited 40 world leaders to a virtual climate summit he will host on April 22 and 23.

Suga has pledged to make Japan carbon neutral by 2050. "I would like to jointly lead (such efforts with the United States)," he told a television program.
