The visit of the US President to Japan has prompted the Japanese government to establish the largest security operation in the country's history. The preparations for this significant diplomatic event are bringing together multiple security forces to ensure a smooth and safe visit. There is emphasis also on diplomatic preparation to align international policies and enhance bilateral cooperation.
In Japan, such high-level diplomatic visits are seen as an opportunity to reaffirm alliances and bolster economic and political ties. They also represent a showcase of its diplomacy to its citizens and the world. The scale of the security operation reflects Japan's commitment to maintain peace and order during such high stakes visits.
Just like in the US and EU, visits from the heads of other states are met with high levels of security, both for the protection of the visitor and as a show of respect for the relationship between the countries. However, the degree of security often depends on the level of diplomatic relations, the agenda of the visit, and the countries involved.
