Quad foreign ministers announce plans to launch a “Quad Fuel Security Forum” alongside an Indo-Pacific energy security framework. The initiatives are presented as part of efforts to protect the flow of energy and reduce risks from supply disruptions across the region, including during periods of acute energy stress. Multiple reports say the forum is intended to serve as a high-level coordination mechanism that supports crisis response and improves policy alignment, including through market analysis and discussions of strategic fuel reserves.
The framework, described as being launched following a meeting in New Delhi, also focuses on emergency response measures aimed at mitigating the impact of disruptions along key energy routes. The reports add that the approach includes maritime surveillance components and cooperation related to critical minerals. The initiatives further emphasize reaffirming or expanding “trusted” port infrastructure and energy-related connectivity projects.
In parallel with the energy agenda, the foreign ministers’ communique also condemns terrorism and references attacks, indicating that the meeting covers broader security concerns beyond energy cooperation.
