Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden will convene a virtual "Summit for Democracy" on December 9 and 10 to which heads of state, civil society, philanthropy, and the private sector will be invited, the White House said Wednesday.
The summit "will galvanize commitments and initiatives across three principal themes: defending against authoritarianism, fighting corruption, and promoting respect for human rights," according to a White House statement.
A year later Biden plans to host them once more -- hopefully in person -- to "showcase progress made against their commitments."
Biden has said that "the challenge of our time is to demonstrate that democracies can deliver by improving the lives of their own people and by addressing the greatest problems facing the wider world," according to the statement.
The American president has repeatedly signalled his desire to once again assume the role of "leader of the free world" traditionally assigned to the occupant of the White House, but which his predecessor Donald Trump never wanted, preferring instead to put "America First."
The White House described the summit as "an opportunity for world leaders to listen to one another and to their citizens, share successes, drive international collaboration, and speak honestly about the challenges facing democracy."

“heads of state, civil society, philanthropy, and the private sector”
Nothing says “democracy” like a gathering of oligarchs.
Discussion topics:
—How to steal an election
—How to use the mass media to demonize disobedient citizens
—Medical experimentation on the masses for fun and profit
—Offshore accounts—what you need to know....
I’m surprised they haven’t perfected robot biden by now?
Only Communists throw around Democracy . Summit ? that’s sounds like Obama
Is this a Babylon Bee parody ?
If these so-called Conservative Groups, Spokesmen and Radio-hosts were smart they would counter this Socialism crap with an America First Summit.
“US President Joe Biden will convene a virtual “Summit for Democracy” on December 9 and 10 to which heads of state, civil society, philanthropy, and the private sector will be invited, the White House said Wednesday.”
This is straight out of the USSR.
defending against authoritarianism
Joe Biden is going to talk about defending against authoritarianism, when his own political party and their associated special interest groups, are committed to authoritarian methods of forcing their views on us????
Nothing for Republics ?
addressing the greatest problems facing the wider world
As they complain about global warming for the umpteenth time?
This from the political party that destroyed our cities last summer along and HATE AMERICA.

A year later Biden plans to host them once more -- hopefully in person -- to "showcase progress made against their commitments."
If they really wanted to foster those three themes, they would want to showcase progress made towards their commitments, not against their commitments.
Big difference in those two words.
Acknowledging my cynicism... He’s doing this as a video conference so his handlers can feed him lines. No way could he do this unscripted on his own.
More, a video conference? To quote the idiot himself, ‘Come on man!’
Virtual Democracy - pretend to be Democracy
Babylon Bee?

Are they sure he’ll be around come Dec.? He couldn’t follow the sidewalk to the WH yesterday.
