‘No talks on expansion of Quad’

“The Sydney summit on May 24 will showcase other opportunities for the Quad to partner on climate, global health, infrastructure and more,” Jean-Pierre said. The topmost priority of the Quad is to ensure that it works well for the Indo-Pacific. So, there is no talk on extension at this point of time. In May last year, the Quad leaders held a face-to-face summit in Tokyo for the second time.

During that summit, President Biden launched the ambitious ‘Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity’ (IPEF), which seeks to deepen cooperation between like-minded countries in areas such as clean energy, supply-chain resilience and digital trade. It is an initiative aimed at cooperation. India, the US and several other world powers have been talking about the need to ensure a free, open and prosperous Indo-Pacific in the backdrop of China’s growing military activity in the region.
