WASHINGTON, Sept 26 ― President Joe Biden met Pacific island leaders for a second White House summit in just over a year yesterday, part of a charm offensive aimed at curbing inroads by China into a region Washington considers strategically crucial.
“These new programs and activities continue to demonstrate the US commitment to work together with the Pacific Islands to expand and deepen our cooperation in the years ahead,” the document said. Biden said recognizing the Cook Islands and Niue would “enable us to expand the scope of this enduring partnership as we seek to tackle the challenges that matter most to our peoples' lives.”
Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare, who has deepened ties with China, did not attend, and a senior Biden administration official said the US was “disappointed” by that.
