\"Quad<\/div>\n
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is in the United States for a meeting of Quad<\/a> leaders, on Sunday said that the four-nation group was ‘here to stay’ amid global tensions and challenges. <\/p>\n

The Quad consists of the US, India, Australia<\/a> and Japan<\/a>, with the countries’ respective leaders being hosted by US President Joe Biden<\/a> in Wilmington, Delware for a meeting. <\/p>\n

“Free, open, inclusive and prosperous Indo-Pacific<\/a> is our priority,” Modi said in his opening remarks at the summit. In attendance also were Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and outgoing Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. <\/p>\n

“We are not against anyone. We all support a rules-based international order, respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity, and peaceful resolution of all issues,” Modi said, in what seems to be a veiled reference to India’s Asian neighbour, China, which is engaged in territorial disputes in both the South China<\/a> Sea and the East China Sea. <\/p>\n

China claims sovereignty over all of the South China Sea, while Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei and Taiwan have counterclaims. <\/p>\n


“Our message is clear – Quad is here to stay, to assist, to partner and to complement,” Modi said, adding that “working together of Quad with its democratic values is significant for the entire human race,” at a time of tensions and challenges. “Quad – a force for global good! PM @narendramodi participated in the Quad Leaders’ Summit along with President @JoeBiden of USA @POTUS, PM @kishida230 of Japan and PM @AlboMP of Australia today,” the Ministry of External Affairs<\/a> said in a post on X. “PM reaffirmed India’s commitment to the Quad cooperation for a free and open Indo-Pacific. Quad will continue to assist the region’s development priorities and accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals<\/a>,” it added. <\/p>\n

During the summit, Modi recalled the first Quad Summit held in 2021 under Biden’s leadership and said, “In such a short time we have expanded our cooperation unprecedentedly in every direction.” <\/p>\n

“I thank you for your steadfast commitment, your leadership, and your contributions to the Quad,” he said. <\/p>\n

This was a farewell summit for President Biden, who nears the end of his term in office, and for Japan’s Kishida, who has stepped down from his post and will not contest for re-election. <\/p>\n

Modi said he will be happy to host the Quad Summit in 2025. <\/p>\n

The Quad Leaders’ Summit this year was earlier supposed to be held in India, but US President Joe Biden was keen to hold the event in his hometown. The four-member Quad, or the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, advocates upholding a free, open, and inclusive Indo-Pacific. China claims that the grouping aims to contain its rise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
