US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday (26 May 2026) that the Quad group is no longer just a talking platform but it is becoming an ‘action-oriented’ platform. Here all four countries come together to discuss common issues and then start taking action on them.

At the beginning of the Quad Foreign Ministers’ meeting held in New Delhi on Tuesday, Rubio said that attending the Quad meeting immediately after taking the oath shows America’s strong commitment to this group. He said that I want to thank S. Jaishankar and the Indian government, who hosted us. Not only for this bilateral visit, but also for this important meeting. I would also like to thank Toshi and Penny for coming here and participating in this. This is happening at a critical time. When I became the Foreign Minister, my first official meeting was with the Quad and this clearly shows our commitment.”

Focus on action rather than talk

Marco Rubio said, “Our goal over the past year has been to make this forum not just a place where we talk about problems together, but a forum where we actually do something. I think we can tell our respective people that we are moving very quickly and effectively in this direction. The areas in which we are working together today have become even more important because of recent world events. Therefore, today we will make further progress towards making our relations more practical.” Rubio said that together the four countries have the ability to tackle many of the world’s biggest problems, such as humanitarian aid, security of sea lanes, energy security, and strengthening essential minerals and supply chains from different sources.

real power of quad

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the most special thing about the Quad is not only that it is a group of four strategic partner countries who come together to talk about their common interests, but also that it is gradually becoming a platform where we are starting to work together. All four countries bring their own distinct strengths and together we can help solve many of the world’s biggest problems. Be it humanitarian aid, energy security, freedom of sea lanes or making the supply chains of energy and essential minerals more diverse. The Quad includes Australia, India, Japan and America. Its objective is to increase cooperation in areas like maritime security, strengthening supply chains, essential minerals, infrastructure development, disaster relief and new technologies.
