US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that the Quad grouping is moving beyond discussions to taking action, as the four nations collaborate on common interests. Speaking at the Quad Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in New Delhi, Rubio underscored the US’ dedication to the group by participating immediately after assuming office.
Rubio commended India for hosting the meeting and expressed gratitude to the attendees for their commitment. He stressed the shift in focus from talking about issues to actively addressing them, noting substantial progress in cooperation areas. The Quad’s joint efforts, encompassing humanitarian response, energy security, and supply chain diversification, are becoming increasingly vital in light of global events.
Highlighting the unique strengths each nation brings to tackle global challenges, Rubio emphasized the Quad’s collective capabilities in addressing critical issues. The forum, comprising Australia, India, Japan, and the US, aims to enhance collaboration in various sectors such as maritime security, infrastructure development, and emerging technologies.
