The highest-ranking official in the Ministry of External Affairs also spoke on the issue of AUKUS, the recently established security partnership between Australia, the UK and the US.
QUAD and AUKUS are not groups of similar nature. The quad has been designed to meet the needs of the Indo-Pacific. AUKUS is a security alliance between three countries and is not relevant to QUAD and will have no impact on QUAD functioning, the foreign secretary said.
