India&#8217;s External Affairs Minister Subrahmayam Jaishankar acted as host to US State Secretary Marco Rubio, Japan&#8217;s Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, and Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meeting took place amidst the lingering conflict in the Middle East and rising uneasiness about China&#8217;s rise. Since Trump took office for his second term, he favored a more direct approach, such as customs <a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/tariffs\/\">#tariffs<\/a> and military operations, in the interest of the <a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/americafirst\/\">#AmericaFirst<\/a> policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Indo-Pacific Maritime Surveillance Initiative (IPMSI)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The four nations agree to expand and integrate their maritime surveillance capabilities. The Common Operating Picture will share data in real-time to monitor and detect suspicious maritime activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Indo-Pacific Energy Security Initiative (IPESI)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Quad agreed to reinforce collaboration on energy supply chains in view of the disruption in the Middle East. The US is ready to supply more energy to its partners to make up for the shortfall caused by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japan and Australia are the hardest hit and are turning to the USA for energy supply. However, India underlined that it is looking for long-term and large-quantity supply at a competitive price. India maintains that it should be able to procure Russian oil, which is available at an attractive price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US proposed to host a specialized Quad Fuel Security Forum later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Quad Critical Minerals Initiative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Quad finalized a collaborative framework to secure the extraction, processing, and recycling of Critical Minerals, including Rare Earths. The common objective is to reduce dependencies on single-source and insulate from risks of economic retaliation using <a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/criticalminerals\/\">#CriticalMinerals<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the Quad, Australia and the USA have certain <a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/criticalminerals\/\">#CriticalMinerals<\/a> assets domestically and overseas, but still need to rely on imports for some. Japan is moving to deep-sea mining to meet its demand. India&#8217;s has large untapped resources that can be leveraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Quad partners pledged to mobilize up to USD 20 billion of blended financing from the public and private sectors to support the Critical Minerals Initiative. A dedicated working group will identify and assess projects operated by member-nation companies that are eligible for funding, which will be distributed via export credit agencies, development finance institutions, and backed by sovereign guarantees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Fiji Port Upgrade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Quad announced its first joint physical infrastructure project by collaborating on the Fiji Port Upgrade. The four nations create an export panel on ports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the Quad stressed the importance of securing submarine cables, which are the lifelines of the digital economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Quad Leaders Summit 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Quad Leaders Summit is supposed to take place in 2026. India was supposed to host it, but it transpired that Australia might take over. Diplomats from all sides are working closely together to finalize the Summit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>11th Quad Foreign Ministers&#8217; Meeting 2026 The 11th Quad Foreign Ministers&#8217;
