QUAD Meet 2026: EAM Jaishankar Calls For Stronger Economic Resilience, Strengthening Supply Chain

As Indo-Pacific takes the centre stage in global affairs, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar highlighted the areas to focus upon for deepening partnerships among the Quad countries. Calling the discussions productive at the Quad Foreign Ministers Meeting, Jaishankar said that much of the discussions, and the bilateral exchanges, were devoted to the current state of the world."We've just concluded a very substantive and productive meeting of the Quad foreign ministers. Much of the discussions and indeed the bilateral exchanges were devoted to the current state of the world. Being QUAD, we naturally focused on issues of particular relevance to the Indo-Pacific. Because we are four maritime democracies located at different ends of the Indo-Pacific, the exchange of perspectives was an exercise of considerable value," he said Highlighting how the four nations are also market economies, the EAM urged for stronger economic resilience, strengthening supply chain and enhancing production capacities.
