New Delhi, 03 March 2022

As per news report of The Indian Express, All the three Quad partners have been issuing condemnatory statements against the Russian aggression. Last month, on February 11, External Affairs minister S Jaishankar had joined the Quad Foreign ministers’ meeting in Melbourne along with his counterparts from US, Japan and host Australia. In what was perceived as a clear signal to Beijing, they had decided to pursue a “shared vision” of “upholding a rules-based international order, free from one based on coercion with respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty”. This was the fourth Quad Foreign ministers’ meeting, with the first one being held in New York in September 2019 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. They have had two in-person meetings and one virtual one, while the leaders have met once in-person and once through virtually.
