In new summit, Biden seeks 'free and open' Pacific with Australia, India, Japan
President Joe Biden and the leaders of Australia, India and Japan
promised Friday to work together for a stable, open and democratic Indo-Pacific
in a veiled dig at China during their first in-person summit together, reports
AFP.
In Biden's latest effort to cement US leadership in the face of a rising China,
the so-called Quad agreed to move ahead on a joint plan to provide Covid-19
vaccines around Asia, launched a new climate initiative and said the four
nations would begin holding annual summits.
Without any explicit mention of China, the leaders of the four democracies in a
joint statement said they were committed to "promoting the free, open,
rules-based order, rooted in international law and undaunted by coercion."
