Yomiuri Newspaper Report

President Joe Biden of the United States and his wife Jill are returning to the White House by a private helicopter after spending the weekend at the Camp David retreat on the 18th (local time).

The Biden administration in the United States has begun coordinating to hold the first in-person summit of the Quad (United States, Japan, Australia, India) leaders in Washington this September, according to Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun on the 19th.

The Quad is a consultative group led by the United States and Japan, formed to check China's expanding influence in the Indo-Pacific region.

According to the report, the Quad summit is expected to discuss cooperation on infrastructure development with China in mind, as well as providing COVID-19 vaccines to third countries.

The Quad summit was first held in March this year in a virtual format, but an in-person summit has not yet taken place.

The newspaper reported that holding the in-person summit around the time of the United Nations General Assembly in New York this September is the most likely plan.
