WASHINGTON - That Asia and the Indo-Pacific are the Joe Biden administration's top foreign policy priority is clear from the calibrated flurry of diplomatic activity in the coming days.
In a strong signal to allies, and to China, the schedule kicks off with a 90-minute summit of leaders of the Quad - India, Japan, Australia and the United States - on Friday (March 12) morning US time. It is Mr Biden's first summit as President. Alongside him will be Vice-President Kamala Harris.
