TOKYO -- Japan's Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and French President Emmanuel Macron agreed to strengthen security ties to achieve a free and open Indo-Pacific region, when the two leaders met in Tokyo on Saturday.
The two leaders held a 15-minute conference, followed by a one-on-one lunch meeting that lasted about 80 minutes. The occasion was their second face-to-face summit after the G7 summit in June in the U.K.
