Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to join US President Joe Biden and his counterparts from Australia and Japan at a summit of the Quad leaders in Sydney on May 24 that is expected to focus on implications of the Ukraine conflict and the overall situation in the Indo-Pacific.
Before travelling to Australia, Modi is likely to visit the Japanese city of Hiroshima to attend the annual summit of G7 advanced economies that is scheduled to take place from May 19 to 21, sources said.
During his visit to India last month, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida invited Modi for the G7 summit.
In the summit, the Quad leaders are expected to announce steps to bolster overall cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, a region that has been witnessing growing Chinese military assertiveness.
The White House on Wednesday said President Biden will attend the G7 leaders’ summit in Hiroshima as well as the Quad summit in Sydney.
From Japan, Modi may travel to a Pacific island nation from where he will likely go to Australia for the Quad summit, it is learnt.
India is yet to make any official announcement on Modi’s proposed foreign visits next month.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s office on Wednesday formally made an announcement on hosting the Quad summit.
It said Albanese looks forward to welcoming his Quad counterparts to Australia for the summit.
