India will host the Quad Summit in 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced at the Quad Summit 2023 taking place on the margins of the G7 summit at Hiroshima in Japan.
Quad is a multilateral grouping of four countries- India, Australia, the United States, and Japan with an aim to ensure and support a “free, open, and prosperous" Indo-Pacific region.
The group was formed in 2017 and presents a strong challenge to the expansionist policies of China.
This year's Quad Summit was originally scheduled in Australia but was conducted in Japan as US President Joe Biden had to postpone his trip to Australia due to ongoing debt limit talks in Washington.
Japan is hosting the G7 summit and all the leaders of the group are currently visiting the country.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was the first to pitch the idea for the formation of Quad in 2007.
