India to Host Quad Summit in 2025
Originally scheduled to be hosted by India, this year’s Quad summit was relocated to accommodate the leaders’ tight schedules. India is now expected to host the next summit in 2025. According to a statement from India’s external affairs ministry, the decision was made following a request from the U.S. to host this year’s meeting.
Quad Summit Focus
The summit will concentrate on deepening cooperation between the member nations in the Indo-Pacific region and addressing key global challenges. In a July meeting, the foreign ministers of Quad nations reaffirmed their commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. They also announced the expansion of the Indo-Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness (IPMDA) programme into the Indian Ocean to enhance surveillance of important maritime zones.
UN’s Summit of the Future
The UN’s Summit of the Future will bring together world leaders to establish a global consensus on shaping a better present and securing the future. This high-profile event aims to strengthen multilateral efforts to address challenges such as security, climate change, and equitable development.
