Quick Summary

The first Quad Summit since 2024 is scheduled to take place in Manila on the evening of November 17, featuring leaders from India, the United States, Japan, and Australia. The agenda will focus on securing commercial shipping lanes for energy and establishing supply chains for critical minerals, a topic of high priority for India following the deaths of 30 of its seafarers in recent conflicts. This report highlights that the summit is being held in a non-Quad country because India has been unable to host the meeting due to presidential unavailability.

Story summary

The Quad Summit, involving leaders from the United States, India, Japan, and Australia, is set to take place in Manila on November 17, 2026, according to sources in New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, U.S. President Donald Trump, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese are scheduled to meet on the sidelines of the ASEAN summits. While significant for the Indo-Pacific grouping, the summit's discussions will be overshadowed by Mr. Trump’s subsequent trip to Shenzhen, China, where he will hold a historic trilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin on November 19. U.S. officials confirmed Trump's participation in a "multilateral meeting" during his Manila visit.
