Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the Quad Leaders' Summit hosted by US President Joe Biden in Wilmington, Delaware, on Saturday.

This year’s summit, originally planned to be held in India, was relocated at Biden's request to his hometown.

The event marked a farewell for both Biden, who completes his term in January 2025, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who steps down on Oct 1, 2025. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese also participated.

Reflecting on past meetings, the most recent in-person summit was held on May 20, 2023, in Hiroshima, Japan. Previously, the leaders also convened virtually and in-person across Tokyo and Washington, DC, handling critical issues from regional stability to humanitarian crises.
