On November 11, according to the agenda, Biden will delve into the work undertaken by the United States in the battle against global warming at COP27 and in helping the most vulnerable resist the impact of that phenomenon.
From there he will go to Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, to participate on 12 and 13 in the summit of leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), where he will reaffirm his country’s commitment to that region and the role of ASEAN.
From November 13 to 16 he will be in Indonesia at the G20 leaders’ summit in Bali.
He will discuss with members of that group key issues such as climate change, the global consequences of the war in Ukraine, including energy and food security, and other important priorities for global economic recovery, the White House added.
For her part, Vice President Kamala Harris will participate in Bangkok on November 18 and 19 in the meeting of the leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).
