The fourth Quad Summit is being hosted by U.S. President Joe Biden, and the next host of the Quad Summit is expected to be India in 2025.
As per an official press release, the leaders at the summit will review the progress achieved by the Quad over the past year and set the agenda for the future. This will be done “to assist the countries of the Indo-Pacific region in meeting their development goals and aspirations.”
During his three-day visit, PM Modi is scheduled to participate in the fourth Quad Leaders’ Summit, an Indian Community event, and address the ‘Summit of the Future’ at the UNGA.
“I look forward to joining my colleagues, President Biden, Prime Minister Albanese, and Prime Minister Kishida, for the Quad Summit. The forum has emerged as a key group of like-minded countries working for peace, progress, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region. My meeting with President Biden will allow us to review and identify new pathways to further deepen the India-U.S. Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership for the benefit of our people and the global good,” the Prime Minister tweeted.
