The Quartet heads toward uncertain times.

On the sidelines of this year's UN General Assembly, the Quad group is meeting again. This practice has been established and maintained for several years now. However, the meeting on September 21st between US President Joe Biden, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is taking place at a very special time and in a very special context, thus having a particularly significant impact on the Quad group.

The leaders of the Quad group met in Japan in 2023.

The United States is about to have an election, and the new leader will be either former President Donald Trump or current Vice President Kamala Harris. This will be the last high-level meeting of the Quad under Biden. The same goes for Kishida, as he will no longer be the chairman of the ruling party in Japan.

Half of the Quad will have new leaders, and no one knows what the two newcomers will bring to the group's future. The two new leaders in the US and Japan certainly won't render the Quad merely a nameless entity, but the question remains, and no one can be sure of the answer, is whether the two newcomers will give the Quad's work the same level of attention and policy priority as Biden and Kishida.

Biden has surpassed his predecessors in terms of U.S. involvement in the Indo-Pacific region and has made a decisive contribution to enhancing the status, role, and influence of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) framework. Therefore, the upcoming high-level meeting of this group is being held in Biden's hometown to highlight the U.S. president's personal role and further solidify his personal imprint within the group. Simultaneously, another key mission of this event is to prepare the group for the upcoming period of uncertainty, creating several faits accomplis so that the achievements of the Quad will not be undermined by personnel changes, especially a change in the U.S. presidency.
