Australia, India, Japan, US Quad to build a port, unveil pact on critical minerals
The external ministers of Australia, India, Japan and the US agreed to jointly build a port in Fiji and signed pacts covering critical minerals and energy protection, as they sought to inject fresh energy into their grouping known as the Quad.
The short report session between the countries' top diplomats — Australia's Penny Wong, India's Jaishankar, Japan's Toshimitsu Motegi and US Secretary of Province Marco Rubio — was the third such gathering of the Quad since September 2024.
"We are going to be partnering on issues of port general facilities, in particular in response to insufficient port capacity in the Pacific Islands, we are announcing plans to work with Fiji," Rubio stated.
The four-country group had lost some momentum last year after failing to hold a leaders' conference, amid tensions between US Head Donald Trump and Indian Premier Narendra Modi over Washington's tariffs and other matters.
"We are beginning to show real achievements and real accomplishments," Rubio stated. "We are deeply committed to this partnership. It is a linchpin and a cornerstone of our global strategy as a country in the United States."
