New Delhi: QUAD countries met in Delhi today. During this, the foreign ministers of the four countries of this group kept their point. A clear indication has been given to China that QUAD is not a military group. However, China always believes that on the pretext of QUAD, the four big powers have been churning to surround it in South China and the Indian Pacific Ocean. The meeting of the QUAD has also been stinging China because a day before, the Foreign Minister of China has also come to participate in the G20 Summit being held in Delhi.
At the same time, the Foreign Minister of Japan has also come for some time today to participate in the QUAD meeting. The foreign minister of China must have heard what these foreign ministers said after the QUAD meeting. China has been given a clear understanding that it will follow international law. Only if he does this, QUAD will not be a threat to him. Know what the Foreign Ministers of QUAD said?
