President Joe Biden welcomed the leaders of Australia, Japan, and India to his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, for a summit aimed at showcasing the Indo-Pacific partnership he has fostered since taking office. The meeting, which marks the fourth in-person and sixth overall gathering of the leaders since 2021, underscores Biden's efforts to pivot U.S. foreign policy towards the Indo-Pacific region.
Biden sought to elevate the Quad alliance to a leader-level partnership, moving away from Middle East conflicts to focus on opportunities and threats in the Indo-Pacific. The summit, potentially the last before Biden leaves office, featured a personal touch as Biden hosted the leaders at his home and a formal dinner at his high school.
