QUAD Has Emerged As A 'Force For Good', Russia-Ukraine Crisis A 'Global Issue', Says Joe Biden

On day 2 of his Japan visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday morning was received by Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida as the second in-person meeting of Quad leaders began. PM Modi is set to hold bilateral talks with US president Joe Biden where the Russia-Ukraine war is set to remain the focus. For new Australian PM Anthony Albanese, who was sworn in on Monday after Saturday’s election win, this is the first Quad summit.

PM Modi said that Quad has emerged as ‘force for good’ as he stressed: "Mutual trust gives new energy to democratic nations. Quad helps Indo-Pacific a better region".

Quad has made an important place for itself before the world in such a short span of time. Today, Quad's scope has become extensive, its form effective. At the Quad level, with our mutual cooperation, a free, open and inclusive Indo Pacific Region is getting encouraged - it is the shared goal of all of us," PM Modi said.

U.S President Joe Biden insisted “Quad is not just fad, we mean business.”. Addressing the new Australia PM, Biden said in jest: "You got sworn in, got on a plane and if you fall asleep while you're here, it's OK."

Biden also highlighted the Russia-Ukraine war in the QUAD meeting. "Putin is just trying to extinguish a culture. This is more than just a European issue, it's a global issue. Global food crisis may worsen by Russia blocking Ukraine from exporting its grains. As long as Russia continues the war, US will work with its partners.", Biden said.
