The two leaders issued a statement that set a broad agenda for the Quad — highlighting the way it began as a security agreement seen as a bulwark against China, but now extends to other issues.“The Prime Ministers reiterated their commitment to strengthening cooperation through the Quad as a force for global good,” they said.“They appreciated the Quad’s ongoing efforts to undertake ambitious projects to help partners address pandemics and disease; respond to natural disasters; strengthen maritime domain awareness and maritime security; mobilise and build high-standard physical and digital infrastructure; invest in and benefit from critical and emerging technologies; confront the threat of climate change; bolster cyber-security; and cultivate the next generation of technology leaders.”Modi also invited Albanese to India next year for a Quad summit there. This adds to an invitation from China to visit next year for annual talks agreed with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
