The United States plans to host the first in-person summit with the other so-called Quad countries — Japan, Australia and India — in Washington in the fall, a senior official said Tuesday.
Speaking at a think tank event, White House coordinator for the Indo-Pacific, Kurt Campbell, said, "Our goal is to hold an in-person Quad meeting" to take place "here in Washington in the fall with all leaders in attendance."
U.S. President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met virtually in March, marking the first summit of the group of democratic nations as it seeks to counter China's growing economic and military influence.
