Quad Summit: The Quad group is the brainchild of US President Joe Biden. It is a group of 4 countries India, America, Japan and Australia. At present its meeting is being held in America. Presidential elections are going to be held in America in November. Joe Biden is not in the electoral fray. So now the question is beginning to arise whether the Quad group will continue after November. Will the new President of America be in favor of continuing this group? On this question, he placed his hand on the shoulders of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said, ‘This will continue beyond November also.’
Let us tell you that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived on a 3-day visit to America. He is also participating in the Quad conference held in his home town Wilmington, Delaware after meeting President Joe Biden. In his address, PM Modi offered to host the Quad summit in 2025. Apart from the two leaders, Japanese PM Fumio Kishida and Australian leader Anthony Albanese have also reached there.
Let us tell you that presidential elections are taking place in America. Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are in the electoral fray, while Japan’s PM Kishida has also announced not to contest the elections. This means that in the next Quad Summit, the Prime Ministers of India and Australia will be among the old leaders. At the same time, America and Japan will be represented by new leaders in the next Quad meeting.
PM Modi offered to host the Quad Leaders’ Summit in India in 2025. He also emphasized that a free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific Quad is a shared priority and shared commitment. In his speech, he told the Quad leaders, ‘We are meeting at a time when the world is surrounded by tension and conflicts. At such a time, it is important for all humanity that the Quad members move forward on the basis of shared democratic values.
