Without naming China, the Quad has expressed concerns about 'any unilateral actions' to change the status quo in the South China Sea
Foreign ministers from Australia, India, Japan and the United States met this week to express serious concerns over intimidating and dangerous manoeuvres in the South China Sea in a move seen as "sending a message" to China.
Observers point to encouraging initiatives relating to cyberspace, artificial intelligence and maritime security that also emerged from the talks, particularly a maritime legal dialogue to build expertise on international law.
During the meeting between the Quad countries in Tokyo attended by Australia's Penny Wong, India's Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Japan's Yoko Kamikawa and Antony Blinken from the US on Monday, the four countries pledged to bolster maritime security in the region.
