Ahead of the third edition of Quad summit in Japan, where leaders of India, the US, Japan and Australia are set to meet with their aim of securing the Indo-Pacific region, India’s Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra briefed reporters in New Delhi on what can be expected from the much-anticipated meet.
The Indian official informed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in Japan on May 23 and 24 to participate in the Quad summit. He is expected will hold bilateral talks with his counterparts from the US, Australia, and Japan.
Apart from that, Modi will also address the Indian community event and meet with Japanese business leaders.
Here are some of the important developments.
1) Quad will also organize a special session on promoting vaccine confidence. The Quad vaccine partnership was announced in March last year with an aim to deliver one billion doses of vaccines to the Indo-Pacific region by the end of 2022.
2) Quad will hold a special session on the sidelines of the World Health Organisation's world health assembly next week.
