Biden claims "America is back" on the international stage and promises a different foreign policy from its predecessor.

US President Joe Biden on 4/2 to speak at the State Department, the first government agency he visited after taking office, to give a new vision of US foreign policy.

In his first speech on foreign affairs, Biden argued that the United States was facing many challenges in its leadership role, coming from China's growing ambitions to compete and as well as pressure from Russia.

"We have to meet this new time, with growing global challenges from pandemics, climate crises to proliferation," Biden said.

"Investing in foreign policy is not what we do just because it is the right thing to do for the world. We do it to live in peace, security and prosperity. We do what is right."

The statement by Biden is seen as an attempt to remove doubts from the international community about the role of the United States under the administration of Donald Trump and to convince the Americans the value of a strong international approach

Trump has angered European and Asian leaders with tariffs, disrupted global alliances and threatened to withdraw American troops from allied nations.

Biden's selection of the State Department as the venue for his first major diplomatic speech is an important symbol of the value he places on diplomats.

"America's alliances are our greatest asset. And leading by diplomacy means once again standing shoulder to shoulder with our key allies and partners," Biden said.

Biden in his early days tried to fix what he called damage to America's standing around the world, reversing Trump's policies.

He also delivered a message challenging Russian President Vladimir Putin.

However, China, which is constantly increasing its military might and influence in the world, is perhaps Biden's biggest international challenge as he began his presidency.

Trump initially sought a warm relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping, but differences on trade, Hong Kong and what the US military call North's destabilizing and aggressive behavior.

"We will confront China's economic abuse, resist their aggressive, coercive action to repel China's attack on human rights, intellectual property and global governance.

"We are a nation that always does great things. American foreign policy has made it possible and our administration is ready to head and lead again," said the President of the United States.
