The four countries gave a strong message to China, saying – the force of power will not work in the Indo-Pacific region

The Quad organization has given the biggest message so far to China, which is trying to expand its strength in the Indo-Pacific region. 

In a joint statement issued after the summit meeting of the top leaders of the four countries of the Quad in Tokyo on Tuesday, PM Narendra Modi, US President Joe Biden, Japan's PM Fumio Kishida and Australia's newly elected PM Anthony Albanizi, not only directly targeted China but also stinging remarks have been made to the governments of its allies such as Myanmar and Pakistan.

While PM Modi has described this organization as a positive force, the US President has advised not to take it jokingly and said that the Quad is very serious about its objectives. A strategy has been chalked out to get the countries of the region out of the Chinese debt trap and 50 billion dollars (about Rs 3.5 lakh crore) have been announced for infrastructure development in the entire region over five years. The next Quad Summit will be held in Australia next year.

One good thing for India is that the issue of terrorism seems to be prominently included in the agenda of the Quad. For the first time in the Quad Summit, the Mumbai and Pathankot terror attacks have been strongly condemned and Pakistan has been indirectly targeted for harboring terrorism. It has been said to not justify terrorist activities under any circumstances and condemns all forms of terrorism and violent extremism.

The Quad countries have said that they will help each other in action against terrorists and terrorist organizations declared by the United Nations Security Council. The strings of all the above announcements regarding terrorism are linked to Pakistan. The Quad has also targeted the military dictatorship of Myanmar, another ally of China, and appealed for an early start of democratic processes there.

The countries of this region will be trained on debt management and will be given correct information to cut out the debt trap of the countries of the region from China. Along with this, it has also been announced to run connectivity projects with the help of 50 billion dollars (about Rs 3.5 lakh crore) in the next five years.
