Read Time:2 Minute, 24 Second

With the White House that announced the Quad Summit during the bilateral visit of US President Joseph Biden to Japan and South Korea on May 24, Washington had hinted that they did not forget Indo-Pacific in the midst of chaos that never ended in Ukraine.

While the White House statement clarifies that President Biden will build more than one year of intensive diplomacy with Indo-Pacific with the US-ASAAN Summit on May 12-13 in Washington, a message from us is clear that it is not forgotten China and that Ukraine is not the only one American agenda.

Although the Quad Summit agenda is still in the process, a very instructive exchange between the US Senator Bill Hagerty and State Secretary Antony Blinken at the Senate Allocation Committee today shows that India and the US are on the same page despite public pressure and media perceptions in Ukraine War.

Answering a positive question by Senator Hagerty about the need for India and we to take concrete steps together to deepen the bilateral strategic alliance, Secretary of Blinken said that he shared the perspective of the US Senator that India-As was a good alliance and would have an impact on the future steps of the Chinese Communist Party.

I think this partnership (India-as) has the potential to be one of the most important and basic relationships that we have presented in the future over the next few decades. This has become a success story for many administration ……. President Biden has spent a lot of time directly involved with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Indian leadership.

We have given quad energy that unites India, the US, Australia and Japan ….. Russia for India, because of the needs, needs partners, selected partners when we are not in a position to become partners. Now we. And we invest in that effort, “Blinken said clearly.

Furthermore Blinken Secretary stated: “I think there is a convergence that developed between the US and India. And, of course, China is a big part of it. “The Secretary of the US State Testimony canceled the campaign regulated in Western media against the position of PM Modi on the Ukraine War and showed a convergence between US and Indian leadership.

Although Quad has been defined as a confrontative block by China, PM Modi believes that the grouping is for global good while protecting the rule of law in Indo-Pacific. This is a cooperative mechanism to ensure that the rule of law and freedom of navigation applies in Indo-Pacific and so on, especially after China signed a security pact with the Solomon Islands in a distant Australian hacking and raised in Australia.

The May 24 Quad Summit in Tokyo will focus on building a global supply chain, vaccine support, and humanitarian disaster assistance with India who played forward in the Indian Ocean with its quad partners.
