WASHINGTON DC, Apr 12 (News On Japan) - During his visit to the United States, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida delivered a speech in Congress that began with humor, earning appreciative laughter from the assembly.
Kishida: "I never get such nice applause from the Japanese Diet."
The assembly was particularly amused when Kishida reminisced about a cartoon he watched as a child while living in America.
Kishida: "I remember things that were strange and funny to a little Japanese boy, like watching the Flintstones. I still miss that show. Although I could never translate "yabba dabba doo.'"
Kishida conducted his entire 34-minute speech in English, affirming Japan's commitment to uphold international order.
