US Plans Quad Leaders Summit Amid Efforts to Strengthen Asia-Pacific Partnership

US Plans Quad Leaders Summit Amid Efforts to Strengthen Asia-Pacific PartnershipPreviousNext

The United States plans to revive the Quad partnership with India, Japan, and Australia, with a leaders' summit expected during the ASEAN meetings in Manila next month, as confirmed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. While the US aims to strengthen the grouping to address regional security concerns, particularly regarding China, India remains cautious about direct confrontation and seeks technological support for maritime security. The revival of Quad is seen as part of broader US efforts to engage in the Asia-Pacific, though challenges in India-US relations persist.
