Foreign ministers of the Quad - the United States, Japan, India and Australia - have unveiled new plans on energy, critical minerals and a port project in Fiji. According to the report, the steps aim to make the group's economic cooperation in the Indo-Pacific more concrete.
Critical minerals are used in everything from electric-vehicle batteries to advanced-technology components, and diversifying their supply chains has become a priority. The port project in Fiji reflects the importance the group attaches to infrastructure cooperation with Pacific island nations.
The timing of a leaders'-level summit, however, remains uncertain. Turning the announced plans into reality will depend on financing and implementation details. The Quad is expected to review the progress of its joint projects in the period ahead.
