U.S. President Joe Biden leaves Egypt for Cambodia on November 11, 2022, concluding a one-day visit to attend the U.N. COP27 climate conference in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. Leaving behind a better-than-expected Democratic performance in the November 8 congressional elections, Biden headed to a whirlwind week of diplomacy with Southeast Asian and Indo-Pacific leaders amid an intensifying rivalry with China, Russia’s war on Ukraine, and increased provocations from North Korea. Biden is set to arrive in Phnom Penh Saturday morning after attending COP27, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. In Cambodia, he will participate in the ASEAN–U.S. Summit with leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and he will attend the East Asia Summit, a grouping of ASEAN and dialogue partners Australia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Russia and the United States. He will meet with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, chair of the 10 Southeast Asian nations bloc this year and the region’s longest-ruling leader, having been in office since 1985. Biden heads to Bali, Indonesia, Sunday for the G-20 summit with leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies. On Monday, he is set to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in their first in-person engagement since Biden took office in 2021. https://www.voanews.com/a/biden-facing-rivalries-with-beijing-moscow-during-southeast-asia-trip/6830426.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
