Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Wednesday he will host President Joe Biden and the leaders of India and Japan for a security summit next month.
The meeting at the Sydney Opera House on May 24 will be Australia’s first time hosting the Quad Leaders’ Summit. It will also include Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
Albanese attended a summit in Tokyo hours after he was sworn in as prime minister following elections last year.
“We will be discussing the global economic environment that we know is under pressure due to global inflationary pressures,” Albanese told reporters.
“We know that we live in a more insecure world with strategic competition in our region, with the ongoing impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine,” Albanese added.
