Jaishankar, Blinken Meet In Tokyo; Discuss Regional, Global Issues Ahead of Quad Foreign Ministers Meet

Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met in Tokyo to discuss bilateral ties, regional issues, and the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Sunday met US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the sidelines of the Quad Foreign Ministers' meeting in Tokyo. The two leaders held a wide-ranging discussion on bilateral ties and regional and global issues.

"Great to catch up with Secretary Blinken in Tokyo today. Our bilateral agenda progresses steadily. Also had a wide-ranging discussion on regional and global issues. Look forward to attending the Quad FMM tomorrow," Jaishankar posted on X.

The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue commonly known as the Quad, is a strategic security dialogue between Australia, India, Japan, and the United States which is maintained by talks between member countries.

In November 2017, the four countries gave shape to the long-pending proposal of setting up the Quad to develop a new strategy to keep the critical sea routes in the Indo-Pacific free of any influence. 

The South China Sea lies at the junction between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. China claims most of the South China Sea as its own, while The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan have counterclaims over the maritime area.
