Quad Leaders to Meet in Manila at ASEAN Summit with Concrete Measures Expected
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the next Quad leaders' summit will be held on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit in Manila, likely in November 2026. The meeting will include leaders from the US, India, Japan, and Australia, aiming to announce concrete cooperative measures on maritime security, technology, and economic issues. The summit was delayed after India’s planned 2025 hosting due to uncertainties around US President Donald Trump's visit. Rubio emphasized ongoing Quad engagements and the grouping's growing strategic importance.
