The Quad, which includes India, the United States, Japan, and Australia, issued a clear message to China on Monday by reaffirming their commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. Foreign ministers met in Tokyo to voice their opposition to any form of coercion or domination in the region.
In a joint statement, the ministers emphasised the significance of sustaining a rules-based international order that upholds human rights, democratic principles, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. Without addressing China specifically, they expressed grave concerns about the situation in the East and South China Seas, denouncing any unilateral acts aimed at changing the status quo by force or coercion.
