US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that leaders of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue will convene in Manila, Philippines next month. This marks the group’s first in-person summit in over two years. The meeting is scheduled just prior to a planned meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Shenzhen, China. Rubio confirmed the agreement during an interview with Indian news channel CNN-News18, stating the summit will take place alongside the Asean conference. The reconvening of the Quad signals a renewed focus on regional security and cooperation between the member nations. This dialogue is expected to address pressing geopolitical concerns in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond. The timing of the meeting, prior to the Trump-Xi talks, suggests a coordinated approach towards engagement with China.
