Japan And South Korea Congratulate Biden, Hope For Steadier Relationship With U.S.
After four years of a president who challenged the worth of the U.S.-East Asia network of alliances, leaders in the region expect a return to traditional relations.
The United States' chief allies in East Asia, South Korea and Japan, welcomed Joe Biden's electoral victory over the weekend, expecting that the former vice president will rebuild their decades-old alliances, which have been challenged during four years of unprecedented strain under the Trump administration.
After congratulations on Twitter, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga reporters Monday he hopes to work with Biden to strengthen the U.S.-Japan alliance and "secure the peace and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific region."
