Planning is underway for United States President Joe Biden to make a historic visit to Papua New Guinea on his way to Australia next month as the US continues to ramp-up its diplomatic push in the Pacific.
PNG and US officials have told the ABC that Mr Biden is likely to meet his PNG counterpart, James Marape, and other Pacific leaders in Port Moresby, after attending the G7 leaders in Hiroshima on May 20 and 21, and before he travels to Australia for the Quad leaders meeting in Sydney on May 24.
