TOKYO -- U.S. President Joe Biden is looking to visit Japan in May for a summit with their fellow leaders of the Quad nations, Nikkei has learned.

The suggested date follows up on the agreement between Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during the pair's first virtual summit last month. Biden accepted Kishida's invitation to visit Tokyo in the first half of the year for a meeting with other leaders from the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, a framework among Japan, the U.S., Australia and India.
