US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Melbourne, Australia ahead of his meeting with the Quad

Blinken is visiting the Asia-Pacific region, including a meeting of foreign ministers of the four-member Quad, the U.S State Department says.

Mr Blinken is making the trip despite the mounting crisis over Ukraine and policy analysts say the aim is to show the Pacific region support and that pushing back against China’s expanding influence remains the top US priority.
