JAKARTA - The foreign ministers of the United States (US), Japan, Australia, and India met in New Delhi for the Quad Security Dialogue, commonly known as the Quad.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong, Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, and Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar will exchange views on "advancing Quad cooperation in various priority areas and reviewing the progress of ongoing Quad initiatives", according to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs.
The ministry said the foreign ministers would also discuss the latest developments in the Indo-Pacific region and other international issues of common concern.
Indian officials said energy, maritime security and regional stability were some of the areas expected to be discussed during the meeting.
The Quad, a partnership between the US, Australia, India, and Japan, was formed in 2007. The meeting in New Delhi took place amid the war between the US and Iran.
The Indian government said the Quad brings together four countries "with a commitment to work as a force for global good and support a prosperous and resilient open, free and inclusive Indo-Pacific."
The last Quad leaders summit took place in the US in 2024.
Rubio, who arrived in India last week for his first four-day visit, said they would "update" the Quad.
