WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden, fresh from his first main bipartisan victory, turned to a greater effort aimed at raising faith in democracy and held a summit with other world leaders this year.
Biden, who served in January after a hot contested election was still criticized by his rival Donald Trump and his supporters, would gather the head of state from other democratic countries for the virtual summit at 9 and December 10, the White House said on Wednesday.
The summit will also cover representatives from “civil society, philanthropy, and the private sector,” which will make a commitment for one year of action, with a follow-up session, one year one year later, he said in a statement.
“The challenge of our time is to show that democracy can provide by improving the lives of their own people and by overcoming the biggest problem facing a wider world,” he said.
Those present will discuss “the challenges faced by democracy so that they collectively strengthen the foundation for democratic renewal,” focuses on “defending authoritarianism, fighting corruption, and promoting respect for human rights,” he added.

Other democratic countries have also seen their system.
At home, Biden and fellow Democrats must also compete with the voting rights that the Advocate has weakened by a number of punches since they were implemented during the 1960s’ civil rights era, including two major verdicts of the Supreme Court and new efforts under Republican.
