US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor announced a Quad foreign ministers' meeting in the Philippines in two weeks, signaling a dynamic shift in Indo-Pacific security architecture. The meeting will involve all four core nations: the United States, India, Australia, and Japan. This follows the successful 11th Quad Foreign Ministers' Meeting in New Delhi in May. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also confirmed plans for a potential Quad leaders' summit later this year.

Signalling a dynamic shift in Indo-Pacific security architecture, United States Ambassador to India Sergio Gor on Monday announced that a crucial, high-level Quadrilateral Security Dialogue meeting is scheduled to take place in the Philippines in approximately two weeks.

"I want to make an announcement here today... all four of our foreign ministers will be in the Philippines. - US Ambassador Sergio Gor"

Addressing global policymakers and industry leaders at the prestigious IX US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) Leadership Summit 2026, Ambassador Gor confirmed that all four core partner nations, the United States, India, Australia, and Japan, are locked in and moving with absolute synchronisation to deepen their theatre-level alliances.

He said, "I want to make an announcement here today, as the video mentioned, we were very pleased to have the quad meeting in Delhi. And that's something we aim to build on."

He added, "One of the things that we're actually looking to do is in about two weeks, all four of our foreign ministers will be in the Philippines."

Gor said the proposed meeting in the Philippines would not replace other planned Quad engagements.

He said, "And we're looking forward to having a quad meeting on the sidelines of the Philippines. And so that is not to take away from any of the other nations; those will continue. We do aim to have a quad meeting at some point, a ministerial quad meeting in Australia. But in the meantime, in two weeks, we're hopeful to have this quad meeting in the Philippines with all four of our partners."

The announcement follows hot on the heels of the successful 11th Quad Foreign Ministers' Meeting held in New Delhi in May, reinforcing that the alliance under the current US administration is rapidly institutionalising a leaner, defence-forward agenda.

Earlier on June 3, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that work was underway to schedule a Quad leaders' summit later this year, potentially on the sidelines of a major international gathering in the Indo-Pacific region.
