Union External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is set to begin his six-day tours to the Philippines and Australia, from the 10th of February. This is the first visit of Jaishankar as the External Affairs Minister, especially after India signed a deal of $375 million deal with the Philippines.
Recently, the Indian Government signed a deal with the Southeast Asian country for a USD 375 million deal, in which India would buy three batteries of the BrahMos cruise missile.
The MEA said, “The ministers will review the ongoing Quad cooperation and build on the positive and constructive agenda announced by the leaders at the two summits in 2021 to address contemporary challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic, supply chains, critical technologies, climate change, infrastructure, etc.”
In addition, the Union Minister is also to participate in the fourth Quad Foreign Minister’s meeting on February 11, in Melbourne.
Besides attending the Quad meeting, Jaishankar will also co-chair with his Australian counterpart Marise Payne the 12th India-Australia foreign ministers’ framework dialogue on the 12th of February.
On the same day, he will also co-chair with Payne the inaugural foreign ministers’ cyber framework dialogue.
The visit would be a great opportunity for leaders from different nations like Japan and others to have a follow-up after their recent meeting.
