WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Joe Biden will hold his first event with other leaders from the Group of Seven nations in a virtual meeting on Friday to discuss the coronavirus pandemic, the world economy and dealing with China, the White House said on Sunday.

The meeting is the first by top leaders from the G7 group of rich democracies since April, it said.

"This virtual engagement with leaders of the world’s leading democratic market economies will provide an opportunity for President Biden to discuss plans to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic, and rebuild the global economy," the White House said in a statement.

The White House said Biden would focus his remarks on a global response to COVID-19 vaccine production and distribution as well as "continued efforts to mobilize and cooperate against the threat of emerging infectious diseases by building country capacity and establishing health security financing."

1. Thanks President Biden

Organized and on point. We have to do a lot to rebuilding our relationships. Taking on COVID-19 and helping the world kill it seems like a step in the right direction.

2. I first read this as "Biden accuses pandemic, economy and China in Friday G7 meeting"

I had my mouse cursor covering the title line in the wrong place.

Plus, I'm so used to reading something like that over the past 4 years (with Trump of course in place of Biden), that it just, well, my brain fell into its usual 4-year old pattern. It is so Trump to accuse everything and everyone at a G7 meeting, except of course his "very special people".

5. Getting way out in front of it and accelerating

"building country capacity and establishing health security financing"

Progress leaps forward after 4 years of confinement in shackles. Joe will do it.
