About
Following our earlier event on closer Indo-Pacific collaboration between the UK and India in the Quad, we engage stakeholders from across the world to discuss the importance of the Quad.
This event is organised by the Usanas Foundation, with NewsX, The Sunday Guardian as partners with Bridge India.
In the Indo-Pacific geopolitical security order, the Quad has entered a critical phase. Sceptics question its relevance. However, in the years to come, the Quad will undoubtedly play a critical role in the regional and global order. It will do by defining the Indo-Pacific region’s geopolitics and nurturing a new regional normative order based on equity, respect for territorial integrity, and sustaining democratic values.
