The White House announced on Thursday that Secretary of State Antony Blinken will be attending the US-Pacific Islands Forum meeting in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, on behalf of President Biden. The highly anticipated visit of President Joe Biden to Papua New Guinea was cancelled earlier this week due to the ongoing debt crisis in the United States.
