The Quad Summit Meeting was held on the sidelines of the G7 Hiroshima Summit. The leaders shared the view that they would strongly oppose unilateral attempts at the current situation by force and coercion, bearing in mind China's increasing advances into the East and South China Seas.
The four leaders agreed to hold the next meeting in India next year and issued a joint statement summarizing the outcomes of the meeting on March 3. They confirmed that they will listen to the voices of emerging and developing countries, including ASEAN, and promote practical cooperation.
