President Biden will host the first-ever-in-person Quad Leaders Summit at the White House with Prime Minister Modi, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Japan Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.

The White House statement said that Biden will also meet the Japan Prime Minister.

The Ministry of External Affairs had said earlier that Quad meeting will focus on deepening "ties and advancing practical cooperation in areas such as combating COVID-19, addressing the climate crisis, partnering on emerging technologies and cyberspace, and promoting a free and open Indo-Pacific".

It said the leaders will discuss regional issues of shared interest and will also review the progress made since the first virtual summit that was held on March 12 this year.

As part of their ongoing efforts to contain COVID-19 pandemic, the leaders will review the Quad vaccine initiative which was announced in March this year.

Recent developments in Afghanistan are also expected to figure prominently in the deliberations.
