Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Biden Pledges ‘Unwavering’ Support to Asia Pacific as APEC Wraps” – below is their description.
US President Joe Biden met Thursday with counterparts from South Korea and Japan, two top US allies, a day after his landmark summit with China’s President Xi Jinping.
Biden stressed the importance of the region to leaders at a dinner Thursday. “So much of the history of the world will be written in the Asia Pacific in the coming years,” he said at the event at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco.
The gathering, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum Thursday, offered Biden a chance to brief Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on his hours of discussion with Xi Wednesday.
Xi has his own meeting with Kishida, and Biden also hosted APEC leaders for lunch as the confab continues in San Francisco. Xi and Biden Wednesday reached a handful of deals to try to address the fentanyl crisis, restore high-level military communications and open a dialogue over artificial intelligence.
The US is the 2023 rotating host for events tied to the 21-member APEC group, which holds annual leaders summits along with other gatherings.
