Leaders of 4 quad countries gathered in Sangsang.
This is the first summit meeting since the inauguration of Quad in 2004 due to the Indian Ocean tsunami.
The quad, which had become ineffective due to Chinese backlash, was revived as a public hardline by former US President Trump.
President Biden, who changed all Trump diplomatic stances, took over the quad.
[Biden/US President: The Quad will be an essential stage for cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region. We look forward to closer cooperation with the four quad countries in the future.] The
leaders of the four countries selected Corona 19 response, cooperation in key technology fields, and maritime order in the South China Sea and the East China Sea as major joint response tasks.
I didn't mention China, but all of them are related to China.
First of all, we decided to support the production of vaccines by Indian pharmaceutical companies in order to provide a fair vaccine supply in the Indo-Pacific region.
This is to contain China's own vaccine diplomacy.
He also cited the complete denuclearization of North Korea, which is closer to China amid the US-China conflict, as a joint response task.
The U.S. plans to explain the quad's achievements to South Korea when the U.S. Secretary of State visits Korea on the 17th.
As the Biden administration initiated a full-fledged multilateral diplomacy on issues in the Indo-Pacific region, including the North Korean nuclear issue, there is a prospect that pressure to join Quadplus could increase in South Korea.
