Dhruva Jaishankar, Executive Director, Observer Research Foundation America, was quoted on:
First Post Article on “Quad makes modest gains, but faced with China’s daunting challenge it must focus on deliverables, keep expectations low” by Sreemoy Talukdar: “despite the real progress the Quad has made on issues including technology, health, cybersecurity, and climate change, it must do more to deliver on its core security goals.”
The Strategist Article on “Leaders’ summit showed the Quad in good health but more work is needed” by Ryosuke Hanada: “The Quad needs a more robust security agenda. Just an expansion of peacetime cooperation may not be sufficient. Given the urgency of the challenges it faces, the Quad should address harder security cooperation, with consultations among its defence ministries, improved communications and the establishment of joint coastguard patrols and regular military exercises which utilise agreed maritime and space domain awareness cooperation in real operations.”
Thanh Nien Article on “The security quartet "launched" to closely monitor Chinese ships” by Ngo Minh Tri: “The joint statement of the Qaud after the recent summit has been substantive and reflects the alignment in a number of important areas, including: maritime security, infrastructure, supply chains, climate change, education, health and emerging technologies. Since last year, when the Quad’s first summit, we can see this group has made significant contributions.”
War on the Rocks Article on “The QUAD Goes to Sea” by Zack Cooper and Gregory Poling: “the Quad must develop a more robust security agenda if it seeks to sustain itself — and the region — in the coming years.”
Haberler Article on “Quad alliance against China will come to the fore with Biden's regional visit” by Ahmet Furkan Mercan: “Quad countries should "strengthen their operational awareness" to avoid a possible maritime crisis in the region and expand the scope of engagement and seek cooperation with their European partners, including France, Canada and the UK.”
