India to Host the Next Quad Summit in 2025
Although India was originally slated to host this year’s Quad Summit, logistical adjustments led the event to be relocated to the US. However, India is now confirmed to host the Quad Summit in 2025. The current summit will strengthen cooperation among Quad members—India, the US, Japan, and Australia—on critical areas such as technology, climate change, and enhancing maritime security in the Indo-Pacific.
