WASHINGTON — The Quad nations — Japan, the United States, Australia and India — are arranging to hold a leaders’ meeting in Delaware, the home state of U.S. President Joe Biden, on Sept. 21, according to sources connected to the participating nations.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will represent Japan.
This year, it was India’s turn to host the meeting, but the United States asked them to switch.
The meeting will be the last Quad summit for Biden, who is scheduled to leave office next January, and it is believed that his intent in holding the meeting in his home state is to emphasize his achievements in strengthening Quad cooperation as the cornerstone of his diplomacy regarding China.
