Barack Obama in Hard Choices, by Hillary Clinton

On Foreign Policy: 2009: Chose Japan PM as first visitor to emphasize alliance

Japan was still one of the largest economies in the world and a key partner in responding to the global financial crisis. I chose Tokyo as my first destination to underscore that our new administration saw the alliance as a cornerstone of our strategy in the region. President Obama would also welcome Prime Minister Taro Aso to Washington later that month, the first foreign leader to meet with him in the Oval Office.
