    Emmanuel Macron “If the Russians were to break through the front lines, if there were a Ukrainian request [of sending ground troops to Ukraine], which is not the case today, we would legitimately have to ask ourselves this question.” 6 hours ago
  • David Cameron
    David Cameron “We will give three billion pounds every year for as long as is necessary. We've just really emptied all we can in terms of giving equipment. The aid package was the largest from the UK so far. Some of that (equipment) is actually arriving in Ukraine today, while I'm here. Ukraine has a right to use the weapons provided by London to strike targets inside Russia, and that it was up to Kyiv whether to do so. Ukraine has that right. Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it's defending itself.” 6 hours ago

“The US-led partnership for maritime domain awareness (IMPDA) is a thinly veiled rationale for the creation of a surveillance network, aimed at criticizing China's fishing industry. It will serve as another irritant in what is a deteriorating international relationship.”

“It seems like a joke that the first substantive security action of Quad is aimed at Chinese fishing boats. The initiative was only aimed at stigmatising China and depriving it of the right to peaceful uses of the sea. The move toward Chinese fishing vessels is likely to be just an 'appetizer', Chinese government and Coast Guard vessels, as well as warships, will also become the next targets under the surveillance. This is feasible for the Quad's broader surveillance system.”

“China's maritime behaviour is a concern not just for the Quad, but also for countries in Southeast Asia. So, I expect many countries are going to join [the IPMDA - Indo-Pacific Partnership for Maritime Domain Awareness]. In my view, this is the first explicitly anti-China step the Quad has taken, because it's clearly targeting China. The Quad's biggest initiative so far has had to do with delivering COVID-19 vaccines. But we'll have to see how effective it is.”

“The IPMDA [Indo-Pacific Partnership for Maritime Domain Awareness] could be enormously helpful to developing states across the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. This effort could seriously lower the cost and increase the capabilities of monitoring illegal fishing and Chinese maritime militia behaviour.”

“The key message that the secretary [Antony Blinken] will take with him on this trip is that our partnerships deliver. The Quad is a key component of US foreign economic and security policy in the Indo-Pacific region … It's through this partnership that we're strengthening the security environment in the region to push back against aggression and coercion.”

“I would focus on bolstering a comprehensive and strategic alliance with the United States based on the shared values and principles of freedom, democracy, the market economy, constitutionalism and human rights. I will pursue open cooperation to expand common interests with related countries in the region by participating in working groups for vaccines, climate change and new technology under the Quad, a partnership between the U.S., Japan, Australia and India.”

“An adventure in military affairs, if pursued by such a huge economy like China's, could be suicidal to say the least. We must urge them not to pursue territorial expansion and restrain from provoking, often bullying, their neighbours because it would harm their own interests. Japan, the US and Taiwan should spare no effort in building our capabilities in all domains - from the undersea, sea surface, air space to the cyber and outer space to counter security threats in the region. Lest we forget, weakness invites provocations. With that in mind, I worked hard first to reinvest into the alliance with the US, second to widen our boundary from Asia-Pacific to Indo-Pacific, and third to launch the Quad process.”

“China is responding to the Quad in its own way, using a cold war mentality, viewing Quad as very much geared toward confrontation with China, and as a result actually moving in a direction that's not productive.”

“India's decision to continue to engage with the Quad, meanwhile, is particularly significant. New Delhi is less concerned about the South China Sea than the other nations, and more concerned with its disputed border with China and maritime security in the Indian Ocean. India, the only Quad country that shares a land border with China, has a particularly delicate balancing game to play. Seeing how India plays that game going forward, while maintaining its relationship with the Quad and its commitment to its vision for Asia is, in my view, of immense consequences for the Quad itself but also the future of the region.”

“The survival of the current iteration of the grouping across two US administrations and changes in governments in Japan and Australia speaks to [the Quad's] durability and how, you could say, the quad is here to stay. It's going to be a real institution … I think it's going to be a grouping that will occupy the minds in the planning of Washington's defence and diplomatic community for the coming years.”

“Sherman's [U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman] visit is likely to have to do with collaborating on emerging technologies and South Korea joining the quadrilateral security dialogue (Quad), both of which are aimed at containing Beijing. In particular, the Joe Biden administration is stressing the importance of building technology alliances and partnerships with its allies, as evidenced by its National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan's direct involvement in the issue.”

“In the earlier days of COVID, India was there for the United States - something we will never forget. And now we want to make sure that we're there for India as well. We're united in confronting COVID-19 together. We're united in dealing with the challenge posed by climate change, and we are partnered together directly through the Quad (a group that includes the United States, India, Japan and Australia), other institutions in the United Nations, in dealing with many of the challenges we face in the region and around the world.”

“Currently, (South Korea) is discussing (the potential swap deal) with the U.S. side quite earnestly. Vaccine cooperation between South Korea and the U.S. is taking place in a multilayered manner through various levels. The tension between the U.S. and China or (Seoul's) participation in the Quad, I believe, has nothing to do with (vaccine cooperation) directly.”

“Over the course of the meeting, a sense of optimism for the future, despite the hard times we're in, was on full display. The leaders did discuss the challenge posed by China, and they made clear that none of them have any illusions about China, but today was not fundamentally about China. Much of the focus was on pressing global crises, including the climate crisis, and COVID-19.”

“South Korea has already participated informally in discussions with Quad country members which have been dubbed the Quad plus so Seoul has not rejected the Quad entirely. A key concern for South Korea is if its participation in a more formalized Quad plus that focuses directly on China will result in repercussions from Beijing. Of course, the U.S. would most welcome Seoul's participation. China may express displeasure with Seoul's participation in the Quad, but even if South Korea stays out of the Quad, China might still exercise economic coercion and advance its interest at the expense of South Korea anyway. The concern with Chinese influence in the maritime domain is not just a South Korea concern, but a regional one.”

“I think that it would make sense for Korea to join an expanded Quad if it isn't openly anti-China. The Quad plus format, for example, has not been anti-China but rather pro-cooperation among its members. Thus, if the Biden administration presents the expanded Quad as an initiative to cooperate among those countries that share similar views about the future of Asia and the Indo-Pacific, I think that it would make sense for Korea to join. Also, an expanded Quad including Korea and others such as, for example, New Zealand, and perhaps Indonesia would look less anti-China than the current Quad. This is because these countries have a more balanced approach toward Beijing, instead of being antagonistic toward it. In a sense, a Quad plus could be an Asian version of the expanded G7, which isn't openly anti-China but rather pro-cooperation among like-minded partners.”

“The Quad is intended to support the rule of law, regional stability and security. Joining the group would allow South Korea to participate more fully in regional security mechanisms and play a role commensurate to its status and capability. It signals Seoul's respect for a rules-based order and its readiness to support and sustain it. Inclusion in the Quad would also promote cooperation more broadly with participating nations.”
