India to hold QUAD ministerial meet later this year: MEA

New Delhi/UNI: India will hold QUAD foreign ministers meet later this year, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said on Thursday.

Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QUAD) is an informal strategic forum between the United States, Japan, Australia and India that is maintained by semi-regular summits, information exchanges and military drills between member countries.

“We look forward to holding QUAD meet later this year and details are being worked out,” said Srivastava.

The QUAD foreign ministers met last year on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York, which was the first such meet of the grouping.

Earlier this month, US Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun had said that a QUAD ministerial meet is being planned in Delhi.

Speaking at US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), Mr Biegun said, “There’s going to be a meeting of the QUAD, a ministerial meeting with the QUAD in Delhi – that’s the intention anyway – in person.”

“Details are still being worked out”, he said.
