The White House also said Biden will urge to defend, strengthen and renew democracy by working together to achieve this goal.
"We have to prove that our model isn't a relic of our history. It's the single best way to realize the promise of our future. And if we work together with our democratic partners, with strength and confidence, I know that we will meet every challenge and outpace every challenger," according to Biden's remarks.
On Friday, Biden is schedule to have his biggest engagements with foreign allies since assuming office. Biden's address to the Munich Security Conference will be preceded by the G7 virtual gathering that is expected to focus on joint efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic, climate change and economic challenges posed by China.
