QUAD summit postponed due to scheduling conflicts

The much-anticipated QUAD Summit, originally slated for January 27th, is now facing a delay as scheduling issues among the Quad partners have emerged. The high-profile meeting, expected to be held in India later in 2024, has encountered impediments in finding suitable dates that align with the leaders' availability.

Sources indicate that conflicting schedules among the leaders of the Quad nations—India, the United States, Japan, and Australia—have prompted the postponement. Notably, the fact that the parliament is in session in Tokyo. 

The fact that Australia's national day falls on on January 26th,  is also posing logistical challenges and rendering it impractical for all Quad partners to convene during this time.

Efforts are underway to determine revised dates for the Quad Summit. The Quad, a strategic coalition aimed at addressing regional and global challenges, plays an important role in the Indo-Pacific region, to ensure China doesn't dominate the region. 

Stay tuned for further updates as the Quad partners work toward resolving scheduling conflicts and announcing new dates for the crucial summit meeting.
