Quad Summit likely to be held in Manila on November 17, sources say

NEW DELHI Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet U.S. President Donald Trump, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the first Quad Summit since 2024 this week in Manila, on the sidelines of ASEAN summits, sources in New Delhi confirmed to The Hindu.

The meeting is expected to take place on November 17 evening, the sources said, adding that it would probably take place after Mr. Trump lands in Manila.

While the confirmation of the Quad Summit in Manila is significant for the Indo-Pacific grouping, and plans to chart out their next course, much of the attention will be taken by Mr. Trump’s pronouncements at his next stop in Shenzhen, China, where he will hold the first-ever three-way summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin on November 19, to discuss global issues including nuclear arms control.
