According to an announcement from Japan, the Quad group comprising the United States, India, Australia, and Japan has agreed to oppose any unilateral efforts to change the status quo by force. This statement comes amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Indo-Pacific region.
Speaking at a press conference following the meeting, a Japanese representative emphasized that Quad nations are committed to upholding a rules-based international order and protecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states. The statement is seen as a response to militarization and violations of international law in the region.
Analysts suggest this move reinforces the Quad's unified stance on promoting peace and stability, as many countries express concern over increasing aggressive actions in the South China Sea and other flashpoints.
