President Duterte, accompanied by his partner Honeylet Avanceña and daughter Veronica, traveled to Japan on an official visit to meet with Prime Minister Shinzō Abe at his official residence in Tokyo. There, he was given arrival honors, followed by a summit meeting, a tête-à-tête with Prime Minister Abe, and a joint statement. Duterte is the first head of state to visit Abe following his party's victory in the Japanese snap election, a week prior. In their joint statement, President Duterte said that Japan and the Philippines have embarked on a "golden age of strategic partnership" as the two countries continue to strengthen their economic and security cooperation. Prime Minister Abe announced that the Japanese government had pledged US$9 billion worth of assistance for the rehabilitation of Marawi following the city's five-month-long siege.
