Joe Biden to visit Australia for 2023 Quad Leaders’ Summit hosted at the Sydney Opera House in May

United States President Joe Biden will visit Sydney in May as Sydney hosts the 2023 Quad Leaders’ summit.

The historic meeting will be held at the Sydney Opera House on May 24 and will host leaders of the US, Japan, India and Australia.

It will be the first time Australia has hosted the meeting and follows Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s attendance in Tokyo in May 2022.

The event will be held at the Sydney Opera House.

‘Quad partners are deeply invested in the success of the Indo-Pacific,’ Mr Albanese told reporters on Wednesday.

‘Leveraging our collective strengths helps Australia advance its interests and more effectively respond to the region’s needs.

‘We are always better off when we act together with our close friends and partners.’

Asked about Mr Biden’s re-election bid, Mr Albanese said he regarded the president as a friend but would not comment on US politics.

There are no details yet on a previously flagged speech to the federal parliament by Mr Biden.

‘We will have more to say about his activities while he is here, but I very much welcome him,’ Mr Albanese said.

It will be the first time Mr Biden will visit Australia as US President as he joins Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japan’s Prime Minister Kishida Fumio.

The Quad Leaders’ Summit is a diplomatic partnership that aims to promote resilience, prosperity and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.

‘The hosting of the Quad Leader’s meeting at the Sydney Opera House, Australia’s most recognisable building, will be a chance for us to work cooperatively with the United States, Japan and India,’ Mr Albanese said.

‘But also be an enormous opportunity to showcase this beautiful city in this wonderful country to the entire world.

‘Leveraging our collective strengths helps Australia advance its interests and more effectively respond to the region’s needs. We are always better off when we act together with our close friends and partners.’

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns welcomed the announcement, claiming the summit will boost the state’s economy.

Mr Minns added authorities would work closely with the Commonwealth to minimise disruptions when the international leaders arrive.

President Biden is expected to give a speech at the Federal Parliament during his visit, but no further details have been given.

Mr Biden’s last visit to Australia was a four-day tour in 2016 as US vice-president, where he met with then prime minister Malcolm Turnbull and NSW premier Mike Baird.

Next month’s meeting will mark the fourth Quad leader’s summit – three of which have been held in person.

Last year’s meeting was hosted by Japan’s capital Tokyo just hours after Mr Albanese was sworn in as prime minister.
