Quad bloc meets Japanese PM Kishida, vows to bolster security in the Indo-Pacific
The Quad alliance has issued a veiled rebuke to China, saying it continues to harbour "serious concerns" over recent altercations in the South China Sea. Beijing has hit back, accusing the group - comprising ministers from the US, India, Japan and Australia - of deliberately inciting confrontation that undermines mutual trust and regional cooperation. Leaders met with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo where they earlier issued a joint statement calling for a "free and open" Indo-Pacific. CNA's Michiyo Ishida with more.
