Marco Rubio likely to visit India in October; Quad summit on G20 margins being explored

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is likely to visit India in October, according to official sources. The visit comes as India explores the possibility of holding a Quad summit on the margins of the G20 summit scheduled in the United States.

The Quad—comprising India, the US, Japan, and Australia—has been a key grouping for regional cooperation and strategic alignment in the Indo-Pacific. A summit during the G20 meeting would provide an opportunity for the four nations to coordinate on shared priorities.
