For India, the ‘Quad’ is not a response to a single country, but rather a reflection of shared aims
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:he ‘Quad’ has received a profile lift, with foreign ministers of India, Japan, Australia and the United States holding a meeting on Thursday. This is being seen as a “significant elevation” of its status since officials of four countries first met in 2007.
The meeting – on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York – was attended by the Indian external affairs minister S. Jaishankar and his counterparts, Mike Pompeo (United States), Marisa Payne (Australia) and Toshimitsu Motegi (Japan).
The first meeting of the four countries at the additional secretary level took place in May 2007, to help with coordination in disaster mitigation during the 2004 tsunami. However, China had issued a strong démarche to all the four countries after the first meeting, interpreting the group as the formation of a nascent alliance against Beijing.
The ‘Quad’ format had since then gone dormant until about 2017. On the sidelines of the East Asia Summit, senior officials of joint secretary rank met after a decade to revive the consultations. At the meeting, they affirmed their support for a “free and open Indo-Pacific” and the centrality of the ASEAN.
Since then, officials have met at least twice a year on the sidelines of multilateral fora. These meetings have not yielded any joint statement, but each side had issued a separate press statement. This time there have been no press releases, except for tweets from the official accounts of the ministers.
‘Quad’ is not a response to a single country:
- The Quad’s first meeting was held in 2007 by four countries namely USA, Australia, Japan and India to discuss mitigation processes after the 2004 tsunami disasters.
- After this meeting, there hadn’t been any discussions or meetings until 2017 during the East Asian summit where officials decided to revive the discussions.
- At the meeting, the discussion was about supporting free and open Indo-Pacific and other matters affecting ASEAN. Since 2017 revival, the officials have met twice a year alongside other forums.
- According to one of the official’s tweet, the 2019 discussion included maintaining prosperous and open Indo-Pacific.
