During a weekly media briefing, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that the foreign ministers of four nations will advance the Quad agenda and review the progress made so far. Jaiswal stated, “The External Affairs Minister will be visiting Japan for the Quad Foreign Ministers’ meeting. The Quad foreign ministers meeting is on 29th July. At the meeting, the leaders will take forward what was agreed to by the leaders, the Prime Minister, Presidents of the country, when they met last in Hiroshima, and thereafter, there was a follow-up meeting in New York. So it’s a good occasion. It is a valuable occasion for them to take forward the Quad agenda and take stock of all that has been achieved so far.”
The Quad is a diplomatic partnership between Australia, India, Japan, and the United States committed to supporting an open, stable, and prosperous Indo-Pacific that is inclusive and resilient.
