“In Sept, you (Australian PM), our PM, Pres Biden, PM of Japan, collectively gave us guidance, laid out a vision for Quad. I want to assure you that we’ve all been at work.
I think today’s meeting gives us an opportunity to review how much we’ve progressed on that”, remarked EAM S. Jaishankar.
Moreover, the EAM remarked, “A part of the reason why I think Quad has worked so well is that our bilateral relations have been very strong.
Surely, I expect the progress in our bilateral relations to be there in Quad as well” The meeting is supposed to be continued till February 13.Â
