Vaccine on Quad's agenda, China on target:The four countries will share their resources to make the vaccine, Modi said - Our vision is Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam

 The quad group of four countries formed to clamp down on China held a virtual meeting on Friday. The group includes the US, India, Australia and Japan. In the first meeting, the four countries agreed to share their resources to make the vaccine. This means that the four countries that have the capacity to produce the vaccine will be pooled.

In the meeting, Modi was the first to speak. He said that our agenda covers vaccine, climate change and technology development. We will work together to promote shared values, secular, stable and prosperous Indo-Pacific. I see this positive vision as an extension of India's ancient philosophy of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam', which treats the world as one family.

Biden said - new partnership in vaccine manufacturing will be in the
virtual meeting. US President Joe Biden said that the United States is committed to working with you and all your partners in this region. This group is particularly important because its focus is on practical solutions and tangible results. Free Indo-Pacific Area is important for the future of all our countries. We are going to introduce a new mechanism to meet the challenges of climate change and to increase mutual cooperation.

Biden said that we are starting a big partnership together, which will promote vaccine manufacturing for the benefit of the world. With this partner, vaccination will also be conducted in a more robust manner in the entire Indo-Pacific region.

The PM of Japan said that peace in Indo-Pacific is necessary. In
this meeting, Prime Minister of Japan Yoshihida Suga said that I am emotional about the quad. Our commitment is about the free Indo-Pacific region. We want peace and stability in this area. For this, the support of the four countries is necessary.

Why is quad group important?
Apart from Modi, US President Joe Biden, Prime Minister of Japan Yoshihide Suga and Prime Minister of Australia Scott Morrison are participating in the quad group virtual meeting. Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have become part of an international forum for the first time since becoming President.

The eyes of countries around the world are focused on this meeting. Serious issues like vaccine drive and its fulfillment can also be discussed in the meeting. The group was formed in 2007, but it is for the first time that the four countries are meeting together. The group was formed to reduce China's influence and influence.

The falling economy and climate change will also be discussed
. Corona, economy and strategic issues are to be discussed in this meeting. This includes how to overcome the Corona crisis and how to carry forward the declining economy. In this meeting, the four countries will also discuss climate change. All these countries have not had good relations with China.

According to one report, India is the leading nation in vaccine making. India is supplying vaccines to countries around the world. Because of this also India can get the support of the members of the Quad. According to the report, there may also be agreement in all countries regarding the vaccine.

Indian vaccine companies may enter into a financial agreement with US-based pharmaceutical companies Novavax and Johnson. In this meeting, a strategy can be made to fight the new form of corona virus and accelerate vaccination.

A statement has been issued by the Prime Minister's Office regarding the meeting , which may be related to cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region . According to the statement, the leaders of the Quad Group will discuss regional and global issues of common interest. In this meeting, the four countries will put forth their views to maintain the position of the Indo-Pacific region. Prime Minister Modi also informed about joining the meeting on social media.
