In 2017, the first Donald Trump administration revived the Quad partnership between Australia, India, Japan and the United States after years of inactivity. Now, as the second Trump administration begins to take shape, the Quad continues to enjoy bipartisan support in all four countries and it seems the grouping is here to stay.
The partnership has become a key pillar of diplomatic architecture in our region. But despite this goodwill and strong foundation, the Quad has sometimes struggled to articulate a clear mission, and its future agenda will need to deliver meaningful impact in the Indo-Pacific.
The United States Studies Centre invites you to a public panel event that will follow a day of closed-door discussions at the Quad Leadership Track-1.5 Dialogue. Panelists will answer key questions facing the Quad on topics such as critical technology, climate and the energy transition, and maritime security, and discuss the future of the Quad partnership itself as a new US presidential administration prepares to take office.
The event will feature leading experts on the Quad, including USSC CEO Dr Michael Green, discussing the Quad's challenges, possible solutions, opportunities for collaboration and the Quad's future agenda.
