Japan’s new Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru had his first phone conversation with US President Joe Biden just a day after taking office. The call took place on Wednesday morning, Japan time.

He said he hopes to continue on this path and further fortify the alliance. 3. Claudia Sheinbaum has been sworn in as Mexico’s first female president. Sheinbaum took the oath of office in the capital, Mexico City, on Tuesday. In an inauguration speech, she said, “I am a mother, a grandmother, a scientist and a woman of faith, and from today, by the will of the Mexican people, the president.” Legislators on the floor of Congress shouted “Presidenta”—the feminine form of president in Spanish – to celebrate the birth of the country’s female leader.
