WASHINGTON (Diya TV) — The United States will host the 2025 Quad Foreign Ministers Meeting on July 1, bringing together top diplomats from Australia, India, and Japan. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead the discussions in Washington, D.C., as the Quad nations work to promote a free and open Indo-Pacific.
The announcement came from Tommy Pigott, Principal Deputy Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State. During a press briefing, Pigott emphasized the importance of this high-level meeting. He noted that Rubio’s first diplomatic engagement as Secretary of State involved the Quad, highlighting America’s strong commitment to the partnership.
“This is what American leadership looks like: strength and peace,” Pigott said.
The upcoming foreign ministers’ summit aims to strengthen cooperation among the four nations. Topics will include regional security, economic collaboration, climate initiatives, and resilient supply chains. The meeting also reflects growing coordination between Indo-Pacific democracies in response to shared challenges.
Indian External Affairs Minister of India, Dr. S. Jaishankar, shared an update on preparations for the summit. He posted on social media about a productive conversation with Australian Foreign Minister Penelope Ying-Yen Wong. They discussed bilateral ties and regional issues ahead of the meeting.
This is not the only major Quad event on the horizon. On June 18, U.S. President Donald Trump accepted an invitation from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the Quad Leaders’ Summit. That event is set to take place in New Delhi later this year. The presence of President Trump at the summit signals growing ties between the four countries and a shared focus on Indo-Pacific strategy.
The Quad has evolved into a key platform for dialogue and action. Its goals include upholding international law, ensuring maritime security, and increasing cooperation on critical technologies. The upcoming meeting in Washington will push those goals forward.
The Quad, short for Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, is a strategic partnership between the United States, India, Japan, and Australia. It began in 2004, following the Indian Ocean tsunami. The four countries worked together to deliver humanitarian aid to affected regions. That cooperation laid the foundation for what is now one of the Indo-Pacific’s most important alliances.
Today, the Quad is focused on ensuring a stable, secure, and inclusive Indo-Pacific. The partnership counters coercive behavior, promotes free trade, and supports democratic values. The group has held multiple summits and meetings over the years, growing stronger with each engagement.
The Indo-Pacific remains a top priority for all Quad nations. As tensions rise in the South China Sea and concerns about supply chain stability grow, collaboration among like-minded countries becomes more vital. The Quad offers a platform to coordinate efforts and respond to shared threats.
