The Quad Foreign Ministers’ meeting will be held in New Delhi tomorrow. Foreign Minister of Australia Penny Wong, Foreign Minister of Japan Toshimitsu Motegi and Secretary of State of the United States Marco Rubio will participate in the meeting. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will preside over the meeting.

The External Affairs Ministry said the leaders will exchange views on advancing QUAD cooperation across priority areas, review progress on ongoing initiatives, and other international issues of mutual concern. 

The QUAD comprising India, the US, Australia and Japan, has emerged as a key grouping largely focusing on peace, security and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. India is hosting the meeting in its capacity as the current chair of the coalition. In the last QUAD summit held in Wilmington in the US in 2024, top leaders of the grouping unveiled major steps to expand maritime security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific.
