Quad Envoys Meet in Beijing

The ambassadors from the United States, India, Australia, and Japan, which are part of a group called the Quad, had a special meeting in Beijing.

This meeting was unusual because it was made public.

The American ambassador said that the Quad is good for keeping the Indo-Pacific region free and open.

The Indian embassy did not say anything about the meeting.

China, which has been critical of the Quad in the past, did not react to this meeting.

China usually says that countries should not form groups that target other countries.

The Chinese government believes that group politics do not bring lasting peace and stability.
