mr biden: We are a Pacific power."Mr Biden held bilateral talks with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull hours after Mr Turnbull swore in his new ministerial line-up, according to Nine News Australia. The pair announced Australia would expand the training mission inside Iraq to include federal and local police."One of the most important objectives now in Iraq is to ensure that the Iraqi police forces, their gendarmerie forces, are able to maintain the peace in areas that have been liberated from Daesh or ISIL as the Iraqi security forces and counter-terrorism forces progress," Mr Turnbull said. Joe Biden said the US along with Australia had been the basis for regional stability that had allowed many countries to grow, including China, Japan and South Korea."I assure you, the United States is going nowhere, the United States is here in the Pacific to stay," Mr Biden told reporters."We are a Pacific nation. A 300-member Australia and New Zealand team is currently operating inside Iraq, training the Iraqi army for the fight against Islamic State. On trade, Mr Biden said more needed to be done to "set the economic rules of the road". Mr Turnbull has heaped praised on the vice-president political capital saying the "Biden touch" will help get a controversial Pacific trade pact through Congress. Mr Biden said Australian forces were the best trainers in the world."They're talking about a significant number of police needing to stay behind to reconstruct in key safety and security areas that have been reclaimed from ISIS," Mr Biden said.
