U.S. President Joe Biden speaks at the White House on Feb. 05, 2021.
The White House said Sunday (Feb. 14) that U.S. President Joe Biden will attend a meeting of the Group of Seven (G7) leaders this Friday, where a video conference will discuss how to communicate the Communist virus (Wuhan pneumonia) pandemic, restore the world economy and join forces to address the threat posed by China (CCP).
The White House said the meeting is the first G7 summit since April 2020. The meeting will be chaired by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. In addition to the United States, the G7 includes France, Japan, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and Canada.
“This virtual engagement with the leaders of the world’s leading democratic market economies will provide President Biden an opportunity to discuss plans to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic and rebuild the global economy.” The White House said in a statement.
In his remarks, the White House said Biden will focus on coordinating global vaccine production, distribution and supply and “continuing efforts to mobilize and collaborate to address emerging infectious disease threats by building capacity at the national level and establishing health security financing.”
In the statement, the White House also emphasized that Biden will discuss global economic recovery and hopes to work with allies on measures to restore the world economy and strengthen the overall competitiveness of the G7 in confronting Communist China on a range of issues.
“President Biden will also discuss the need to make investments to strengthen our collective competitiveness and the importance of updating global rules to address economic challenges such as China.” The White House said.
Climate change will also be on the agenda.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also addressed G7 counterparts last week, calling for continued financial support to ensure economic recovery.
