　　Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary, Yoshihide Suga, said Thursday that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will meet with Trump next week in New York City. It will be Trump’s first meeting with a foreign leader since he won Tuesday’s presidential election.

　　Suga said the two spoke by telephone on Wednesday. Trump and Abe said they remain committed to continue U.S.-Japan cooperation on Asia-Pacific security, he added.

　　Trump often said during his campaign that Japan and other allies should be required to pay more of the costs to keep U.S. forces in their countries. The candidate also suggested U.S. forces might withdraw from nations that do not support more of those costs.

　　China

　　Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory message to Trump on Wednesday, state television reported. Trump criticized China’s trade policies during the campaign. He said he supported placing import taxes, or tariffs, on Chinese goods coming into the U.S.

　　The report said Xi told the president-elect that the two biggest economies in the world share a responsibility to support global development and prosperity.

　　“I place great importance on the China-U.S. relationship, and look forward to working with you to uphold the principles of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation,” Xi was quoted as saying.

　　South Korea

　　The office of South Korean President Park Geun-hye said she spoke with Trump by telephone on Thursday. It said the president-elect promised he would make sure the U.S. will stand with South Korea “100 percent.”

　　In a statement, Park’s office said the two agreed to continue U.S.-South Korean efforts to counter North Korea’s military threats.

　　Australia

　　Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said he briefly spoke with Trump to discuss the history of military cooperation between the two countries. Turnbull also said he spoke about why Australia supports U.S. approval of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement.
