Biden to skip ASEAN, head straight to India for G20 summit

The travel plans of Joe Biden to India have been revealed by the White House. Instead of attending the ASEAN summit in Indonesia, the US president will be absent and Vice President Kamala Harris will stand in on behalf of the country. Biden will directly head to New Delhi for the G20 Leaders’ Summit.

This eagerly awaited event is scheduled from September 7 to 11 and will bring together influential leaders from across the globe. Their aim is to address and make decisions about urgent global issues. Among the key topics on the agenda, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine is expected to be a significant point of discussion.

The White House has shared that during the summit, Biden will engage in talks with fellow leaders about a series of challenges that require immediate attention. In addition to the previously mentioned Ukraine conflict, there is also the possibility of discussing the broader matter of climate change.
