The visit to Washington may take place in early January, with the Japanese government eyeing a visit from Jan. 7-9, the report said. A meeting of the defence and foreign ministers of both nations, so-called "2+2" talks, may be held in Washington in mid-January, Kyodo said, adding that Kishida was also eyeing a possible visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos.
