On Friday, the four leaders pledged to pursue a free and open Indo-Pacific region. It was a two-hour meeting at the White House in Washington D.C. The White House is the official residence of the president of the US.
The leaders took steps to expand vaccines worldwide. Japanese PM Yoshihide Suga told reporters the countries agreed to cooperate on vaccines, clean energy and space, and to hold a summit meeting every year.
The Quad Summit leaders spoke about democratic values and peaceful resolution of disputes. Moreover, they also said they would give support to small island states, especially those in the Pacific Ocean.
Moreover, at the start of the Quad Summit, US President Joe Biden announced a fellowship programme to allow students from the four countries to pursue degrees in STEM at US universities. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
