Biden to address UN General Assembly first time as president
The President of the United States of America Joe Biden will address the United Nations General Assembly in New York next week for the first the time as U.S president.
The White House said on Monday that Biden would travel to New York on Tuesday next week to speak at the assembly’s General Debate.
Biden since taking office has relied increasingly on multilateralism and working together with other countries.
Leaders from more than 80 countries are expected to speak in person in New York, in contrast to 2020, when the General Assembly was largely conducted virtually because of Covid 19.
The coronavirus pandemic, including the issue of vaccinations, and climate change are among the key topics expected to be discussed at this year’s General Assembly.
