Prime Minister Kishida is coordinating a visit to the US in March next year...Will his approval rating recover? - South Korean report

The US and Japanese governments are said to be coordinating plans for Prime Minister Kishida to make a state visit to the US in early March next year. Kyodo News reported this on the 25th, citing officials from both countries. According to reports
The governments of both countries will ultimately decide whether Prime Minister Kishida will make a state visit to the United States after considering Japan's parliamentary deliberations and political situation, the US presidential election and parliamentary schedule, etc.
The last time a Japanese prime minister visited the US as a state guest was former Prime Minister Abe in 2015. If this visit is realized, Prime Minister Kishida will meet with President Biden and strengthen ties between Japan and the United States.
This appears to convey the idea of further strengthening the alliance. He is also considering addressing the U.S. Congress and visiting areas outside of Washington, D.C., he said.
Kishida Cabinet's approval rating is in the 10-20% range due to the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's "slush fund scandal"
The situation is dire. Administration officials hope that Prime Minister Kishida's state visit to the United States will lead to a recovery in Cabinet approval ratings.
Prime Minister Kishida took the opportunity of attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit last month.
After the Japan-U.S. summit meeting held in San Francisco, U.S., it was reported that ``President Biden has requested an official visit as a state guest early next year.''
