@pabsgill Indian Prime Minister #NarendraModi, US President #JoeBiden, Japan’s head #YoshihideSuga and Australia’s #ScottMorrison are set to meet for the first-ever #QUAD leaders’ summit on March 12, albeit virtually.

@pabsgill The alliance has been gaining momentum with India raking more strategic partnerships and the four countries meeting nearly every week during the global #pandemic.

@pabsgill “The leaders will discuss regional and global issues of shared interest, and exchange views on practical areas of cooperation towards maintaining a free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific region,” said the press note by India’s Ministry of External Affairs ( MEA).

@pabsgill The first-ever meeting between the heads of the state may be another signal that the #QUAD is ready to become more than just an ‘informal’ grouping of countries.
