Indian Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra on Saturday said the Quad Summit
2022 in Tokyo will primarily focus on the issues of the Indo-Pacific
region.
"One of the primary focuses of the Quad is the
Indo-Pacific region and naturally when the leaders sit together they
would talk about developments in the Indo-Pacific region, challenges in
the Indo-Pacific region and the areas of concern," he said in a special
media briefing, ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Tokyo
from May 22 to 24.
In Japan, the Prime Minister will hold
bilateral talks with US President Joe Biden apart from his counterparts
from Australia, and Japan.
The Foreign Secretary said that the
leaders will also focus on opportunities that Quad countries and Quad
countries, in partnership with other countries in the Indo-Pacific, need
to work on.
"The issues of regional and global development will
definitely be part of the conversation. I would not single out any one
country or other in that respect," Kwatra said.
During his visit, the Prime Minister will also address the Indian community and meet Japanese business leaders, Kwatra said.
On
the issue of India banning wheat, he said India is extremely clear
about the principles and needs of food security in the country which are
paramount.
"Yet, at the same time, we are careful in ensuring
the needs of economies, vulnerable to risks of food security, wherever
possible are met," he said.
