Joe Biden-Suga Yoshihide ‘likely’ to announce next in-person Quad Summit, says U.S. official

Mr Suga and Mr Biden are also expected to discuss regional security including North Korea, China and China-Taiwan issues.

U.S. President Joe Biden will host Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide at the White House on Friday — the first foreign leader visit for a Presidency that began at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The two leaders are likely to announce the next in-person Quad (India, the U.S., Japan and Australia) meeting, according to a senior administration official. At their first summit level meeting, held virtually on March 12, Quad leaders had committed to meeting in person before the end of this year. Mr Suga and Mr Biden are also expected to discuss regional security including North Korea, China and China-Taiwan issues. Japan is also expected to announce a $2 billion 5G network technology initiative.
