Worldview with Suhasini Haidar | Quad Meeting: What did the leaders agree upon?
The HinduThis week, the four leaders of the Quad- US President Biden, Japanese PM Kishida, Australian PM Albanese and PM Narendra Modi met in Tokyo for the 2nd time in person for the Quad Summit. India continues to emphasize the importance of the Quad, while keeping its balancing act- an SCO meeting of counter terror officials preceded the Quad, and next month PM Modi is expected to take part in a virtual BRICS summit along with Presidents of Russia and China 3 China is still the Elephant in the Room at the Quad: Even though China was not mentioned in the Joint Statement, there was the customary reference to opposing coercive and unilateral measures that “seek to change the status quo and increase tensions in the area, dangerous use of coast guard vessels and maritime militia, and efforts to disrupt other countries’ offshore resource exploitation activities.”And then came US President Biden’s remark, that the US would support Taiwan militarily if China invaded. China’s reaction came quickly- in a statement by the Foreign Ministry spokesperson vowing to fight foreign interferences, and then Chinese and Russian jets, that conducted joint military exercises that flew right up to Japanese airspace, even as the Quad meeting was underway 4 And then there was the event that took place before the Quad meeting- the US launch of negotiations for an Indo-Pacific Economic Framework- leaders of 12 countries including India joined the US President at the launch, and will now take part in talks to take the framework forward. 4 Critical Technologies - Memorandum of Cooperation on 5G Supplier Diversification - Common Statement of Principles on Critical Technology Supply Chains – for semiconductor supplies - Cooperation on Open RAN- Radio Access Networks 5 Quad People to People: - Quad Fellowship will bring 100 students from our countries to the United States each year to pursue graduate degrees in STEM fields, and is administered by Schmidt Futures The Quad leaders also agreed to meet in 2023 in Australia So, where were the Quad’s misses?
