US President, Joe Biden, says the world is navigating a dark hour as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Biden, who is meeting the leaders of Japan, Australia and India in Tokyo in his first visit to Asia as president, said the war had now become a “global issue” underscoring the importance of defending international order.
Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, also echoed his comments, saying that a similar invasion should not happen in Asia.
The four countries known collectively as the Quad are discussing security and economic concerns including, China’s growing influence in the region, and differences over the Russian invasion.
