QUAD Summit 2026 | Quad Foreign Ministers Meet In Delhi Amid Indo-Pacific Tensions

New Delhi hosts a high-stakes meeting of Quad foreign ministers, bringing together India, the United States, Japan and Australia at a time of rapidly shifting geopolitical equations in the Indo-Pacific. The gathering follows the last Quad ministerial in Washington DC and is expected to feature a series of bilateral meetings with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, along with calls on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. From maritime security and regional connectivity to infrastructure partnerships and strategic coordination, the talks are expected to focus on strengthening the Quad’s role in shaping the Indo-Pacific order amid growing concerns over China’s regional assertiveness. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has described the Quad as a platform that must move beyond dialogue towards “cooperation and deliverables”, underlining Washington’s push to turn the grouping into a more coordinated strategic mechanism.
