Quad Summit 2021

After a virtual summit earlier this year, the first-ever in-person Quad Leaders' Summit was held on September 24 in Washington after the United Nations General Assembly session. The heads of all four Quad countries (Indian, US, Australia, Japan) participated in the Summit which saw discussions on several world issues. The Summit was majorly focused on the diplomatic, economic, and human rights policies in Afghanistan followed by an extensive discussion on the Indo-Pacific region. 

The Quad leaders further denounced the use of terrorist proxies and emphasised the importance of denying any logistical, financial, or military support to terrorist groups which would be used to launch or plan terror attacks, including cross-border attacks, reported ANI.

In their joint statement, Quad leaders called for an end to violence and the release of political detainees in Myanmar. The leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to the complete denuclearisation of North Korea in accordance with United Nations Security Council resolutions.
