US President Joe Biden will meet 18 leaders from the South Pacific when he visits Papua New Guinea in May, a top regional diplomat has said, as the US and China vie for influence in the region. Papua New Guinea Foreign Minister Justin Tkatchenko said on Saturday that Biden would attend bilateral talks with his hosts and is"also having a meeting with the 18 Pacific Island leaders" from the Pacific Island Forum - a regional bloc of mostly small states that are scattered across the vast swathe of the ocean.
Biden is set to become the first sitting US president in at least a century to visit Papua New Guinea when he touches down on May 22. He is also scheduled to attend a G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan and a summit of the Quad -Australia, India, Japan and the United States - in Sydney.
