The visit is part of a larger trip that included a stop at the White House to discuss global security concerns with President Joe Biden. Gov. Roy Cooper’s office says Kishida plans to visit the Toyota electric battery plant in Liberty and the Honda Aircraft Co. headquarters in Greensboro on Friday.
