The Quad comprises the US, India, Australia and Japan. Wong told reporters that Australia believes that this group of four countries will “retain its importance beyond the election result”. Millions of US voters are voting to elect the 47th President. This is one of the most bitter presidential election campaigns in the country’s history.
A close contest between Kamala and Trump
According to surveys of various media groups, there is a close contest between Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris (60) and Republican Party candidate and former US President Donald Trump (78). The foreign ministers of both countries were asked whether there is any concern about Trump winning the election and whether his becoming president will have any impact on the Quad. In response to this, Jaishankar told reporters, “We have seen steady progress in our relations with the US during the tenure of the last five presidents, including Trump’s previous presidential term. Therefore, when we look at the US election, we are confident that whatever the result, our relations with the US will be stronger.”
What did the Foreign Minister say on the future of Quad?
Jaishankar said, “As far as the context of the Quad is concerned, let me remind you that it was revived in 2017 during Trump’s presidency. After this, it was taken from Permanent Secretary to Minister level, that too happened during Trump’s presidency.” Jaishankar said, “In fact, it is interesting that amid COVID when face-to-face meetings had stopped, a rare face-to-face meeting of the Quad foreign ministers was held in Tokyo in 2020. This should give us an indication of the possibility of the Quad. “The US, Japan, India, and Australia in 2017 had materialized the long-pending proposal to establish a ‘Quad’ or a four-nation alliance to counter China’s aggressive stance in the Indo-Pacific region.
Australia also gave its opinion on the Quad
Responding to a media question on the Quad, Australian Foreign Minister Wong said, “We both see, I don’t want to speak on behalf of Jai, but I can express very similar views on this. We both attach great importance to the Quad, it is an arrangement, a meeting, a group of countries that share very similar interests in the kind of region we want to have. ” She said, “It is a very valuable strategic discussion with countries with different perspectives, obviously America, India, Australia, Japan. “
