India may have Quad Military Exercise with US, Japan, Australia
November 9, 2015
India may have quadrilateral military exercises with the United States, Japan and Australia in the Indian Ocean in the coming years, a former Indian foreign secretary, Kanwal Sibal, told an audience in Washington, D.C. Thursday. The quadrilateral security dialogue – or ‘quad’ – was a short-lived initiative in 2007 where the assistant secretary-level diplomats from the United States, Japan, India and Australia met on the sidelines of the ASEAN Regional Forum. Though initiative died after one meeting – largely due to fears from China over perceived containment – some have called for its revival amid an even greater convergence among the Asia-Pacific giants, particularly in the wake of growing concerns about China’s rise.

The four countries already did exercise together along with Singapore as part of Exercise MALABAR – which initially began as a bilateral naval exercise between the United States and India – back in 2007. While expanded exercises with all four countries have not occurred since then, as Sibal pointed out, there are already some signs that things are slowly moving in that direction.
