During high-level strategic talks in Washington, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reaffirmed the United States’ deep commitment to the Quad alliance, comprising India, Japan, and Australia, emphasizing ongoing collaboration and future engagements. Rubio noted the successful Quad Foreign Ministers meetings and the upcoming 2025 Leaders Summit, scheduled to be hosted by India. The Quad’s efforts were further exemplified by the recent Counterterrorism Working Group meeting in New Delhi and the annual Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response exercise in Hawaii, aiming to enhance disaster-response capabilities across the Indo-Pacific. This commitment not only strengthens regional security partnerships but also reflects a unified approach to addressing emerging geopolitical challenges in the area.
