President Joe Biden will host the leaders of Australia, India and Japan at a forum on Friday that will use strong language to rebuke China's territorial expansionism into its surrounding waters, according to a report out of Tokyo.
Japan's Kyodo News said on Wednesday that a draft statement slated for the upcoming Quadrilateral Security Dialogue—or Quad—summit at the White House would warn against attempts to change the status quo in the East and South Chinaseas.
This week's Quad forum will feature its first-ever in-person meeting between Biden and prime ministers Scott Morrison, Narendra Modi and Yoshihide Suga. The group held a virtual meeting in March in what was already a step up in the importance of the Indo-Pacific–focused partnership.
The Quad, which China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi once predicted would dissipate like "sea foam," is now among the more notable regional mechanisms seeking to challenge Beijing's political influence.
Friday's meeting will be followed by a statement that "uses tougher language than before regarding the situation in the waters where China is stepping up its territorial claims," said Kyodo.
Quad members will "oppose challenges to the maritime rules-based order," the report said.
