Why India Which Refused to Join RCEP is Willing to be a Part of US-led IPEF
The Quad leaders have met for the fourth time in just over a year, indicating that this four-nation club is taking on a more institutional character. The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, the Indo-Pacific Partnership for Maritime Domain Awareness, the Quad Partnership on Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief in the Indo-Pacific, the Quad Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Package, the Quad Debt Management Resource Portal, the Quad Vaccine Partnership, and the Quad Fellowship are among such initiatives. Rather than portraying the Quad and Indo-Pacific as mere China containment strategies, the Quad members have been trying to highlight the benefits to the region’s small, middle and growing states. Quad Support for ASEAN Launched in 2021, the EU’s Indo-Pacific strategy is widely seen as good news for ASEAN and the wider Indo-Pacific region. The Quad’s support for the ASEAN Outlook on Indo-Pacific is helpful, especially as China has also accepted and backed the ASEAN version of the Indo-Pacific.
