(Central News Agency, Washington, 9th, comprehensive foreign report) Japan's Kyodo News, citing multiple diplomatic sources, reported that the United States, Japan, India, and Australia are planning to hold a "Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad)" foreign ministers' meeting in late May in New Delhi, the capital of India.
Kyodo News reported today that the issues to be discussed at this Quad foreign ministers' meeting are expected to include reducing dependence on China for critical mineral resources.
The Quad originally planned to hold a leaders' summit in India last year, but it was postponed due to factors such as the deterioration of US-India relations and US President Donald Trump's lack of interest in multilateral mechanisms. It is still difficult to predict whether this foreign ministers' meeting will lead to a leaders' summit.
The last Quad foreign ministers' meeting was held in Washington D.C., USA, in July last year. At that time, a joint statement was issued proposing to diversify the supply chain of critical minerals such as rare earths.
The joint statement also mentioned at the time that the United States, Japan, Australia, and India all expressed serious concerns about the situation in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, strongly opposing attempts to unilaterally change the status quo by force or coercion.
