US will continue to work with Quad members for free, open, inclusive Indo-Pacific, says US envoy 

US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti met his counterpart in Japan Rahm Emanuel and discussed the pivotal role of the Quad partnership. ”I was delighted to meet Ambassador Emanuel to discuss the Quad partnership’s pivotal role in rising to the defining challenges of our time. The United States will continue to work with India, Japan, and Australia to advance our shared vision for a free, open, and inclusive IndoPacific,” Garcetti said on X.

Emanuel, a former Mayor of Chicago, has worked closely with US Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and is presently serving as the US Ambassador to Japan. The Quad, comprising India, the US, Japan and Australia, has been focusing on practical cooperation to ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific in the backdrop of China’s increasing military muscle-flexing in the Indo-Pacific region.
