U.S. first lady Jill Biden Thursday is in Japan, where she is leading the American diplomatic delegation to the Tokyo Olympics.
The Games were delayed a year due to the coronavirus pandemic and still remain under its shadow.
Biden arrived at Yokota Air Base, where she was met by the Japanese foreign minister, ahead of a scheduled dinner in the evening with Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and wife Mariko Suga at the Akasaka Palace.
On Friday, she is scheduled to meet with Emperor Naruhito at the Imperial Palace, but before that, is expected to hold a virtual meeting with Team USA.
