Emperor Meets President Simina of Micronesia
From The Japan Times:
Emperor Naruhito met with Micronesian President Wesley Simina at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on Tuesday.
During the 30-minute talks, the emperor voiced sorrow over the loss of numerous lives in the Oceanian island country during World War II, which ended 80 years ago, according to the Imperial Household Agency.
Japan does have some level of engagement with their former Pacific colonies, but there could be a chance to strengthen their ties with the US wavering with the Compacts of Free Association with Micronesia, the Marshalls, and Palau.
