"On Saturday, September 21, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. will preside over the fourth in-person Quad Leaders Summit in Wilmington, Delaware. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was cited by PTI as stating, "The President looks forward to welcoming Prime Ministers Anthony Albanese of Australia, Prime Minister Narendra Modi of Japan's Prime Minister Kishida Fumio, and India.

As president, President Biden will be receiving foreign leaders in Wilmington for the first time; this is a testament to his close personal ties to each of the Quad Leaders and the significance of the Quad to all of our nations. She said that quad governments continue to interact and coordinate at all levels, and that quad foreign ministers have convened eight times in recent years.


S Jaishankar, the minister of external affairs, was in Tokyo in July of this year for the Quad foreign ministers' summit.

The main objectives of the Quad Leaders Summit are to further our common goal of an open and free Indo-Pacific region, strengthen the strategic convergence between our nations, and provide tangible advantages for our partners in the Indo-Pacific in important domains. According to Jean-Pierre, these include cybersecurity, health security, reaction to natural disasters, marine security, high-quality infrastructure, crucial and emerging technology, and clean energy and climate change.



In November 2017, Australia, Japan, India, and the US engaged in the long-overdue formation of the Quad to develop a new strategy to keep the vital water routes in the Indo-Pacific free of any influence.

On September 22, PM Modi will not only be present at the Quad summit but will also be having bilateral talks with the leaders of partner nations. He will also be addressing an Indian community function in New Jersey. On September 23, he will also take part in the Summit of the Future.



According to the United Nations official website, the Summit of the Future will result in an intergovernmentally negotiated, action-oriented Pact for the Future that includes chapters on youth and future generations, international peace and security, science, technology, and innovation and digital cooperation, sustainable development and financing for development, and transforming global governance.
