US hosted Summit for Democracy virtually
On December 9-10, 2021, President Biden held the first of two Summits for Democracy, which brought together leaders from government, civil society, and the private sector in our shared effort to set forth an affirmative agenda for democratic renewal and to tackle the greatest threats faced by democracies today through collective action.
Three themes:

- addressing and fighting corruption
- advancing respect for human rights.
A total of 111 nations are participating in the summit across the world.
