Quad joint statement expresses anguish over Ukraine conflict
Deccan ChronicleNew Delhi: External affairs minister S. Jaishankar chaired a breakfast meeting of foreign ministers of the Quad nations, during which they resolved "to meet challenges to the maritime rules-based order, including in the South and East China Seas". The Quad joint statement expressed anguish over the Ukraine conflict and emphasised on "respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity, transparency and peaceful resolution of disputes". The joint statement described itself as a "force for good" and announced that a Quad maritime security working group meeting, hosted by the United States, will be held in Washington later this month. Taking veiled jibes at Pakistan and China, the Quad statement also took a strong stand against terrorism, including the Mumbai terror attack of 2008, and expressed its "concern at attempts to politicise the working of the UNSC Sanctions Regimes and called on all states to maintain the transparent, objective and evidence-based working methods of UNSC Sanctions Committees", a significant statement given China’s past record at the UNSC of blocking UN sanctions on several Pakistan-based terrorists.
