Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has sounded out U.S. President Joe Biden about visiting Japan in late April, government sources said Friday.

The proposal was made when Kishida had a brief conversation with Biden on Thursday in Brussels, where a summit of the Group of Seven industrialized nations and an emergency meeting of NATO were held, the sources said.

Japan is arranging to host a summit of "the Quad" group that also includes Australia and India in Tokyo by June.
