Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Quad countries vow to work for freedom in region
The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, more simply the Quad, is a strategic dialogue between the United States, India, Japan, and Australia to enhance the quadrilateral military and diplomatic ties to ensure security and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region. It was first formed in 2007 but somehow ceased for a while and was reestablished in 2017 to counter China’s military and diplomatic aggression in the South China Sea. The leaders of the four members recently met in the US and pledged to protect the rule of law, freedom of transport, peaceful and democratic values in the region and beyond. They also committed to encounter challenges to the order in the East and South China Seas without stating against which country. Along with the newly formed trilateral security pact between Australia, the UK, and the US (AUKUS) to have Australia deploy nuclear-powered submarines, Australia seems to have become a pivotal state for the new security alliance in the Indo-Pacific region.
In the meantime, the Quad countries agreed to provide more Covid-19 vaccines around Asia. It seems health is also one of the security issues in the region.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about this new regional alliance by four democratic nations.
