Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida says "freedom and democracy are under threat around the globe," warning that "Ukraine today could be East Asia tomorrow."
In a warmly received address — the first to a joint session of the US Congress by a Japanese leader in almost a decade — Mr Kishida reaffirmed his country's deepening relationship with the United States, urging the superpower to continue playing a "pivotal role" on the world stage.
