Biden's Quad Agenda

All eyes will be on overtures from India. “China’s recent maritime aggression could be changing the equation for India, and could be prompting India to become a bit more open to the idea of Quad security cooperation,” said LISA CURTIS of the Center for a New American Security.

The leaders will also discuss cooperation on climate change and technology. And the gathering is poised to be defined as much by its substantive talk as by the intimacy of its surroundings. Biden is hosting informal meetings with the world leaders at his Wilmington home, and he plans on dining with the trio at his high school Saturday evening. (Eric will be reporting on the ground from Wilmington, so stay tuned to see if he gets to join Biden for his high school reunion.)

And it’s all with an eye to Biden cementing some foreign policy wins in his final months in office. “I think this meeting really is about President Biden’s legacy,” said Curtis. “Elevating the Quad and making sure a key pillar of the Biden administration’s Indo-Pacific strategy will be a strong legacy for President Biden.”
