A: Hey there! Did you catch the news today?
   B: Nah, what's up?

A: You know Governor Koike right? She had a chat with the UN chief in NY yesterday.
   B: Oh really? What did they talk about?

A: Well, she suggested that some parts of the UN functions could be moved to Tokyo! Isn't that cool?
   B: Wow, seriously?! That's pretty big news! Why do you think she wants that?

A: She mentioned safety and our weak yen as advantages. But she didn't give any specific proposals about inviting UN agencies yet.
   B: Hmm, I wonder if they'll actually do it... The UN is trying to cut costs right now because of the US admin.
   B: Parts of the UN Population Fund are already moving from New York to Nairobi due to high prices and personnel expenses there.

A: Yeah, you're right. Seems like they're looking for ways to save money. But Governor Koike said Guterres responded positively to her offer. So who knows what might happen next!
