Quad-Plus: Form to Function? (YCAPS-JUMP)

May 12, 2021 , 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm (Asia/Tokyo)

On Wednesday, May 12 at 6:00 PM JST (5:00 AM EDT), the Yokosuka Council on Asia-Pacific Studies (YCAPS) will host an online webinar titled “Quad-Plus: Form to Function?” as part of their Community Conversation series.

This event will focus on the development of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, an informal grouping of the United States, Japan, India, and Australia in the Indo-Pacific, and the potential for the Quad to grow beyond its current membership. The speakers will tackle important questions about the future of the Quad, including how a “Quad-plus” formation could affect the grouping’s operations in the Indo-Pacific.

Registration through Zoom is required for this event. The registration link is available here.
