1. What is Q.U.A.D initiated?
The Quadrilateral Union Security Dialogue popularly called Q.U.A.D is a Union of India, Japan, the United States of America, and Australia though it is a loose group(a member country may leave the union due to some diplomatic reasons) rather than a formal alliance but, its goal is still quite broad. It works to stabilize peace in the Indo-Pacific Region from both military and Political dominance in the Indo-Pacific by any country.2. Why and When was Q.U.A.D formed?
Shinzo Abe, the Japanese Prime Minister, started it in 2007 with the help of Australia's Prime Minister John Howard. It had been in Japan's favor too because it was in response to China's military exercises in the Malabar the in Indo-Pacific which had affected Japan, India, Australia, and the United States since it was the route connecting countries rich in raw material to the developed and developing countries needing it and also has half of the world trade in it. Australia's joint naval exercise gradually increased their already high tensions with China under US Prime Minister Julia Gilliard in 2010. While India, Japan, and the United States continued to hold joint Naval sessions Under Malabar. finally, these Geopolitical stances caused Q.U.A.D to form led by Shinzo Abe, with Indian Prime Minister - Narendra Modi
U.S.A Prime Minister- Donald Triumph
Australian Prime Minister -Malcolm Turnbull
and to the formation of Q.U.A.D China responded by saying it was "Asian NATO" and this Allegation was denied by India's Foreign Minister S.Jaisankar with the claim India never had a NATO mentality and to check other countries' views held Q.U.A.D+ meetings from March 2020 to May2022 in Vietnam, Brazil etc...
