Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is expected to hold a bilateral meeting with the United States President Barack Obama this afternoon in the Philippines ahead of the APEC summit tomorrow.
A smiling Mr Turnbull did not take questions from reporters as he arrived at his hotel in the Philippines capital.
It is expected the discussion will centre around Australia’s military commitment in Syria and whether that mission will be expanded.
Australia is one of a number of nations carrying out airstrikes in Syria.
United States President Barack Obama said the coalition forces will redouble their efforts to defated ISIS.
"Here at the G-20, our nations have sent an unmistakable message: that we are united against this threat," he said.
"ISIL is the face of evil. Our goal, as I’ve said many times, is to degrade and ultimately destroy this barbaric terrorist organization."
The Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said Australia will consider every request that comes from its coalition partners.
"We're already making a significant contribution, I believe, second largest to the United States...We'll continue to work closely with them to ensure that Australia continues to play its part in seeking to disrupt and destroy Daesh, this horrific terrorist organisation."
The Prime Minister and Foreign Minister are in Manila for the APEC summit but economic and trade talks have been overshadowed by the attacks in Paris.

Mr Turnbull has praised the work of Australian security agencies in the fight against terror on home soil. He said the terror threat alert level will remain at the same level.
"We recognise that risks exist, that attacks are possible. Attacks in this environment are likely to happen in the future, but Australians can be assured that we have the best security agencies, they are monitoring the situation and seeking to protect Australians at home and so far as we can, abroad."
The official APEC meetings begin tomorrow.
