Please help with this query.

I have 2 tables in a database, countires and cities. states looks like this

2 ----1 ----------Manchester
3 ----2 ----------New York
4 ----2 ----------Washington
5 ----2 ----------San Francisco
6 ----2 ----------Las Vegas
7 ----2 ----------New Orleans

I have queried the database as follows:

///////////////////////// Make the country query //////////////////////////////
$q_country = "SELECT * FROM countries";
$result_country = mysqli_query($dbc, $q_country);
$row_country = mysqli_fetch_array($result_country);

///////////////////////// Make the city query //////////////////////////////
$q_city = "SELECT * FROM cities";
$result_city = mysqli_query($dbc, $q_city);
$row_name = mysqli_fetch_array($result_name);

I want to display the data as follows:

Country - UK
Cities - London, Manchester

Country - US
Cities - New York, Washinton, San Francisco, Las Vegas, New Orleans

Country - Japan
Cities - Tokyo
