US President Joe Biden will attend the G7 leaders' summit in Hiroshima, Japan from May 19-21, the White House announced Tuesday.

“Biden and G7 leaders will discuss a range of the most pressing global issues, including the G7’s unwavering support for Ukraine, addressing the dual food and climate crises, securing inclusive and resilient economic growth, and continuing to lead a clean energy transition at home and for our partners around the world,” a statement from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.

Biden will also attend a Quad leaders' summit in Sydney, Australia on May 24, according to the statement. This grouping brings together the US, Australia, Japan and India.

At least 109 migrants were killed, including 15 children, and some 116 were missing after a boat sank off the shores of Djibouti overnight on October 8-9, a UN agency said Sunday.

Survivors said the vessel -- which was carrying 350 people from Djibouti to Yemen -- capsized north of the Djibouti town of Obock, according to a statement from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), whose teams are on the ground alongside local authorities to provide emergency aid.
