/ WASHINGTON – U.S. President Joe Biden met on the sidelines of the G-7 meeting Saturday in Hiroshima with the other three heads of state at the Quad Leader’s Summit.
The Quad leaders from the United States, Australia, Japan and India quickly rescheduled their talks originally slated for next week in Sydney so Biden could return to Washington for federal debt limit negotiations.
In opening comments, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese depicted the region as one „where sovereignty is respected and all countries, large and small, benefit from a regional balance that keeps the peace.‘
The Quad supports infrastructure, security, climate, health and technology for the Indo-Pacific region. It mainly weaves together cooperation between groups to solve the region’s problems.
Among other initiatives, it announced Saturday a partnership with the Georgetown University Law Center to provide fellowships to design infrastructure projects.
