Today, Quad partners are working together on the Indo-Pacific’s most pressing challenges and priorities, including cooperation on climate, critical and emerging technology, cyber security, infrastructure, regional health security, space, maritime security, counter-terrorism, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. The Quad complements other bilateral, regional and multilateral cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, including with ASEAN and Pacific partners.
Quad Leaders first met as a group in March 2021 when they held a virtual Quad Leaders’ Summit. In September 2021, the United States hosted the first in-person Quad Leaders’ Summit in Washington, D.C. Since then, Quad Leaders have met annually.
