The world of politics is abuzz with excitement as the Quad Summit 2024 approaches. This year’s summit will be hosted by Albanese, and it promises to bring together some of the most influential leaders from around the world. With Biden, Kishida, and Modi in attendance, this security summit is set to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing our global community today. From strategic competition to economic cooperation, there’s no doubt that this event will shape international relations for years to come.
What is the Quad Summit?
The Quad Summit is a significant meeting of four world leaders representing four major democracies – United States, Japan, India and Australia. The term ‘Quad’ refers to the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, which was initially initiated by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2007. However, it lost momentum until its revival in 2017 when the foreign ministers of these countries met on the sidelines of an ASEAN conference.
The summit serves as a platform for discussing issues concerning security and strategic competition in the Indo-Pacific region. It also aims to promote a free and open order based on shared values such as democracy, rule of law and respect for human rights.
With China’s growing assertiveness in the region, there have been concerns about Beijing’s intentions towards territorial disputes with neighboring nations. The Quad aims to make sure that regional stability is maintained through cooperation among these like-minded nations.
In recent years, the Quad has gained prominence due to increasing geopolitical tensions between China and other countries such as India and Australia. This year’s summit comes at a time when global politics are becoming increasingly complex amidst ongoing challenges posed by pandemics and climate change.
Who will be attending the Quad Summit 2024?
The Quad Summit, which will be hosted by Australian Prime Minister Francesco Albanese in May 2024, is expected to bring together some of the world’s most influential leaders. The summit will see the attendance of US President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
US President Joe Biden is expected to attend the summit along with his counterparts from three other nations. This will be one of his first big international meetings since taking office as President in January 2021. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has also confirmed his participation in the event.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to join the meeting virtually due to Covid-19 travel restrictions but this does not make any difference on his full contribution during discussions. While former Australian PM Scott Morrison was invited, there is no confirmation of his participate yet.
The presence of these world leaders at the Quad Summit underscores its importance as a strategic competition forum that focuses on security and political issues affecting their respective regions and beyond. With each country bringing unique perspectives and priorities to the table, it promises to be an engaging discussion for all attendees involved.
