TOKYO — US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Japan on Sunday as part of a visit in the Asia-Pacific meant to boost cooperation between their two countries following recent aggressive moves made by China.

The visit comes three months after President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced what they called a new era in Japanese-US relations at a summit at the White House.
