US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan Discusses Key Issues for Biden-Modi Meeting
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan highlighted the main topics for President Joe Biden’s upcoming meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. One major focus will be the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and India’s position on Russia and China. Sullivan stressed that Russia’s actions against Ukraine violate international laws and norms, and urged countries like India to support sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Sullivan also mentioned that the leaders will discuss China’s activities in the Indo-Pacific region, covering security, economic, and technological aspects. He clarified that the QUAD’s purpose is to promote a free and open Indo-Pacific, not to target any specific country, including China.
The Quad Summit will review the progress made over the past year and set the agenda for the future to help the Indo-Pacific region achieve its development goals. The first Quad Leaders’ Summit was held virtually in 2021, with subsequent meetings in Washington, DC, and Japan.
