Prime Minister Narendra Modi is embarking on an official visit to the Philippines starting November 16, with the primary highlight being the ‘Quad Leaders Summit’ to be held in Manila. After nearly two years, top leaders from India, the United States, Japan, and Australia will gather on a single platform. Amid shifting strategic dynamics in the Indo-Pacific region and growing Chinese activities, this meeting is considered highly significant. Comprehensive discussions will be held on issues such as maritime security, freedom of navigation, advanced technology, and secure supply chains for critical minerals.
