Within the assembly of the “Quad” nations, the leaders will focus on the “concerning developments” within the Center East and the scenario in Ukraine, Sir Keir’s spokesman stated.
The assembly has been organised to coincide with Mr Biden’s state go to to Germany.
It has been billed as a gathering of the Ramstein group of greater than 40 nations that offer Kyiv with arms, named after they met on the US’ Ramstein air base in Germany in 2022 to debate Ukrainian defence capabilities after Russia invaded.
