US President Joe Biden will attend the G7 leaders' summit in Hiroshima, Japan from May 19-21, the White House announced Tuesday.

“Biden and G7 leaders will discuss a range of the most pressing global issues, including the G7’s unwavering support for Ukraine, addressing the dual food and climate crises, securing inclusive and resilient economic growth, and continuing to lead a clean energy transition at home and for our partners around the world,” a statement from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.

Biden will also attend a Quad leaders' summit in Sydney, Australia on May 24, according to the statement. This grouping brings together the US, Australia, Japan and India.

The Quad leaders will discuss how they can deepen their cooperation on critical and emerging technologies, high-quality infrastructure, global health, climate change, maritime domain awareness, and other issues that matter to the people of the Indo-Pacific.
