Quad ‘never more crucial’: Wong
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has hosted Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong and his Indian and Japanese counterparts for the Quad meeting in Washington.
Ms Wong said on X that what was the second Quad ministerial this year was “a signal of the importance of our partnership and the urgency of the challenges we face”.
“We agreed that it’s never been more crucial to take concrete actions that support peace, stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific,” she wrote.
“From maritime security to economic resilience - including our work on critical minerals - and regional emergency response, the Quad helps build a region that is better prepared for the challenges of our time. We know that we are stronger and safer by working together.”
