is the first in-person summit since the invasion of Ukraine, as security in the Indo-Pacific region continues to shift unsteadily beneath their feet.
Biden’s pre-summit bilateral visits to South Korea and Japan will have a heavy security focus. In Korea, the newly elected president, Yoon Seok-yeol, has signalled he will cleave closer to the United States. Yoon also wants South Korea to work in ways that are complementary to the Quad. The Quad is now firmly entrenched as a core pillar of Australia’s Indo-Pacific strategy. For all the careful public positioning of the group as a provider of public goods, the Quad reflects Australia’s intent to help build a favourable strategic balance in the region and support the resilience and sovereignty of regional countries.
Although the IPEF is not a Quad initiative, Australia and Japan have been working behind the scenes to help make the best of it. Still, no amount of cheerleading will make up for the fact that the framework is policy Spakfilla that can’t substitute for America’s absence from regional trade arrangements. The IPEF offers a US-centric list of initiatives on digital trade, labour and the environment when South-East Asia wants market access.
