Quad gets an Indian boost
Hindustan TimesPrime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the United States is going well, what with the visit to Wilmington, and the hugs and the handshakes. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, US President Joe Biden and Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at the Quad Leaders Summit at Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware, USA, Saturday. Out of four, only PM Modi will continue, together with his foreign minister, who has probably the longest association with Quad, given that he has been steering Delhi’s position since 2015. There’s the Quad Indo-Pacific Logistics Network pilot project, for shared airlift capacity and to “leverage our collective logistics strengths” for civilian response to natural disasters across the region. Then there’s the landmark Quad Ports of the Future Partnership to support sustainable and resilient port infrastructure development with a conference on this hosted by India in Mumbai.
